Welcome to the boards, and yes, they are regular ole pc floppies. throw some wav files on it and load it into your mpc2k/2kxl.

The only "special" I can think of is you should format the floppy in ypur pc as fat/fat16 and use sample filenames no longer than 8 characters.

You know how to format your floppy on pc right?

I'm playing with you, here you go.

dub click - my computer.

place floppy to be erased/formatted into the drive.

right click - floppy drive icon.

use the drop down menu and choose
fat or fat16.

now format the floppy.

Put some 44khz/16bit wav samples on that disc, take it to and load it
into your mpc.
