A WAV file on the CD-RW/CD-R disc has 24 files (one file per track) in the root directory of the disc. WAV A WAV file is saved in order of track number (from tracks 1 to 24). During the save operation over more than one CD-RW/CD-R disc, the X-77 always calculates the available space of the disc automatically. If the X-77 knows that the available space gets smaller than the data size of the next track, it will change the disc when the data save of the current track is completed. · WAV file size When saving data by the WAV file format to a CD-RW/CD-R disc, the file size may sometimes increase compared with the data size in the current drive, depending on the recorded data condition such as the start time, end time, the data amount, etc. For example, if a track is recorded from ABS: 0 (min. ) to ABS: 1 (min. ) and ABS: 10 (min. ) to ABS: 11 (min. ), the file on the current drive has a length of 2 minutes, while the WAV file has a length of 11 minutes.
