.lst files

[JonPyle]

I seem to remember seeing them in the .ist files before I moved the songs to my G drive. Hum, sucks. It wouldn't be so bad if the manual adding of songs in the write mode, did't kick your back to the top of the screen after each addition. Is there a quicker way to copy those CD's now?... What good are the isd. files now to me. Seems this should be changed in the future...

I don't quite understand what you mean in your above statement.

Are these lst files that you saved random songs to make up a your own compilations or are they direct copies of manufacturers CD+G ?

The key to your problem is in your above statement. "I seem to remember seeing them in the .ist files before I moved the songs to my G drive."
By moving the song files then your .LST file does not know where to find the files to add to the list because the .lst file is a list of locations of files to add. Since you moved them the list cannot find them.
I find the easiest way to create write lists is to work from the master list (left column). If I want to duplicate a particular original CD, then I sort that list by Filename. That groups all songs in a DiskID order so I can find all of the songs from a particular CD. Then I highlight them and add them to the playlist, highlight them all in the playlist and add them to the write disk list. Open Write Disk and they will all be there at once.

Thats the answer I was looking for Dale. Thanks... One other dumb question, how do I get them to highlight in this program. I tried alot of different combos and I am just missing it.

From microstudio main dialog, left click the first song of your choice then at the end of your chosen songs hold down shift and at the same time left click.
This highlights all that group.
If you just want individual songs, instead of shift use the CTRL key.

Great, thanks Roy. I was tring hold shift> left click drag before...Ok, How do I move it into the playlist now...lol...

While they are highlited, click on the + button next to the delete button top of the playlist area, then press the Add to Write button at the bottom to send them there for burning copies.
