1. If the music files on the USB flash drive can not be recognized by Super DJ,
check the format of the drive.

wise, Super DJ will not be able to play music files in the hard disk normally.
3. A playlist can contain up to 999 songs. Super DJ supports up to 9 playlists.
4. Although Super DJ also supports playback of music files in an external highcapacity hard disk drive,!it can take a lot of time for Super DJ to search and
locate all music files. Therefore we would recommend that you move the music
files to a smaller capacity media, or to the internal hard disk and create a playlist
for these files for better playback efficiency.
