hello eveyrone  i have a playlist saved on to a usb stick from my psr 3000. with just off 7000 songs in when i plug it into my sx700 and go to playlist its only showing 2500 songs in there.... is there a fix for this or is it the keyboard can on read so many songs in the list ie 2500 thanks

Yes, there's too many songs. There's a limit to how many songs a folder can contain to be read.

Break it down into alphabetical or numbered folders with around 1200 songs per folder and it will all work fine.

I believe the limit for a 3000 is 500 files/folder.

Hi John,

What exactly do you mean here by a "Playlist" from your PSR-3000 that should contain "7000 songs"? Could you please describe again in different words what exactly you have done so far?

There are no "Playlists" on the PSR-3000, only the MUSIC FINDER (MF) and of course REGISTRATIONS. The MF on the PSR-3000 can contain a maximum of 2500 Records. Such a "Record" is one entry in the MF with which you can call up panel settings for playing a specific song, i.e. a specific Style is loaded, an Intro and/or Main Variation is activated, the Tempo is set and an OTS of this style is loaded .

One folder on the PSR-3000 can only contain a maximum of 250 files. In this case, it cannot be a folder (created on the PSR-3000) that would contain "7000" Styles, Registration files or MIDI files.

I GUESS you imported a MUSIC FINDER file (.mfd) in the Playlist display on the SX700, so that it was automatically converted into an SX700 Playlist (= one .tsv Playlist file and one .rgt Registration file for each MF Record).

As I said, if the MF file comes from the PSR-3000 it cannot contain more than 2500 Records (song titles). Maybe you could write more than 2500 records into an MF file with a PC program like "MusicFinderView". But that wouldn't be of any use in this case, because the SX700 only supports a maximum of 2500 records per Playlist file.

If it is really a .mfd MF file with more than 2500 records, you could try to split this big .mfd file into several smaller .mfd files using a suitable PC program:
>>> MusicFinderView
>>> Music Finder File Manager


Basically, the question arises as to whether such effort is even worth it for such "Style suggestions in conjunction with Registrations that are based on the OTS of these Styles"...


Best regards,
Chris
