Converting a Song Recorded as an SMF to Audio

the song to a music CD, or upload it to the Internet.

If you save an audio recording of a song on the
USB flash drive, you'll be able to listen to it on your

Audio recordings of songs are saved as WAVE files
(16-bit, 44.1 kHz).
You can use your computer to burn them to a music
CD or upload them to the Internet.
