Upload cd to pc via cd drive. Hookup mpc to pc w/ usb. Push mode, then pad 2, then f4, then select either memory card or hard drive, then press f6. A mpc icon should pop up on your pc. Then just click & drag the files to the mpc icon. Hope this helps.
GOD Bless.

I have had this problem after dragging files into the mpc via usb to memory card..
Occaisionally the sound wont play at all, or all the sounds in the file are the same sounds or loops over and over..
This usually happens when its alot of files inside a main file (does that make sense?)...Although I have just had some sounds simply be "unfindable" when I drug only a wav or mp3 to the memory card but it wasnt in a "file" ( meaning that file icon on my pc).
Any thoughts?

Your files need to be in 16 bit format w/ name under 16 characters. Mpc won't read mp3. If the name is over the character limit all of the files w/ the same first part of the file name will all sound the same. If your files are 16 bit ,w/ correct names it could be corrupted files, or your memory card.
