Clusters
These are the smallest unit of memory that the VS-
880EX uses to manage data on a disk drive. The
smallest physical units on a disk drive are called
either
sectors or blocks , and depending on the
device, the size that is handled can be selected.
For example, the VS-880EX is designed to use
disks with 512 bytes/sector. When the VS-880EX
manages song data, it handles 64 sectors as a sin-
gle unit (cluster). This means that 512 (bytes) x 64
(sectors) = 32768 bytes (32 kilobytes) is one cluster.
Cross Link
This is an error in which a cluster is detected as
being included in two or more songs. In such a
case, a completely different song may be heard in
the middle of a song. Such an error condition is
referred to as a
cross link .
