Saving to an external SCSI ZIP???

I had an MPC2000xl awhile back and use to just save to floppies. I just got another MPC2000xl with an external zip drive and want to save to that.

how do YOU save your beats to an external scsi zip drive? a friend of mine told me he does this.
names his beats JH 1, JH 2, JH 3, etc... then he names his sounds a1, b1, c1 for JH 1 and a2, b2, c2 for JH 2 an so forth. He said he saves .APS ans ALL Songs and Seqs.

He told me if you don't have a system of naming them, when you go to pull up your beats later, it will mix up sounds from different beats if not labeled properly.

i read you can make folders with a scsi zip and MPC.

what is the best way to save your beats and keep shit organized when you want to pull it back up???

thanks!

Make a special name up for every drum-kit, set, pgr. etc.
Like let's say phatkit then name your samples after that: phki1, phsn2, phhh1, phoh4 etc.

you know how it is. people work the machine how they do. once you get use to something it's just routine.

i appreciate the feedback. i like the idea of saving in folders. i read about it in the manual, but when my friend told me about naming sounds, otherwise it would mix up sounds... i wasn't sure.

if you save in differnt folders, but don't name your sounds, will it pull up other sounds with the same name? or will it just pull up the .aps .songs & seqs for that folder?

in other words, even if i use the folder system of saving, should i bother naming the sounds too?

The method that has always worked well for me is: Every time i start a new beat, i name the first sample something that will spark my memory. For instance, if i got an al green samp, i might name the sample GREEN. that way, every sample you get from that point on will Automatically be named GREEN1, GREEN2, etc... Then make sure to name the sequences and songs GREEN as well. Just be sure not to give any future programs the same name, or you will get very confused, and possibly erase the original track program

^ I use this same method as well.

I'll have to read up on saving to folders.
