Hi Garry,
Thanks for the come-back. FYI: I also store all my imported .cdg files on my D: drive (30 GB), which is where I store all my audio, photos and graphic files. I have a much larger E: drive (90 GB) that is used for video storage. However, all new imports, whether .cdg, .jpg, .wav, mp3, .avi, whatever, get stored in their own newly created folders, i.e. PopRock-Vol#1, PopRock-Vol#2, whatever, etc. The graphic files (usually Photoshop .psd files) used for the custom labels for any particular volume are stored in a sub-folder of that volume so they stay associated with that volume. I have never used the “Songlist” folder for storing anything. It is empty and always has been (except when Duplicating, which is only temporary for the duration of the duplication process). I’ve often wondered which of my audio applications put that file there. I now realize that it was MTU. Ha! Upon import, I redirect MTU software (or any other application I am using for creating files) to put them in the folder I have created just for them, not the default path for saving stuff in any particular application. That way everything stays nice and neat, and I always know where everything is. These folders can be thought of as a temporary place to store elements of a project. When I am through with any particular project, those folders are then burned to disc as data files (archiving) for long term storage, then removed (deleted) from the hard drive. Yes, I delete them from the hard drive! That’s the whole idea with archiving; to free up space on a drive and provide long term storage that can be re-used later. As you say, Microstudio only imports .cdg and .wav. My problem is not with file management on my drives. It’s with archiving these files, then returning them to the hard drive for re-use at a later date. Sure your .cdg files stay the same as the day they where imported if you just leave them there and never move or manipulate them. Try archiving them as data files (all files are some type of data) and see what happens. No one has addressed this question - I repeat: How do I get the MTU guys to notice this string and add their two cents worth? Surely you would think with all their experience that they would have had to notice this problem from time to time and have an opinion.
