Welcome to the forum. The BeatBuddy Manager (BBM) must be used to manage all BeatBuddy (BB) data. Best to not use your computer operating system to try to manipulate the files used by the BBM and the BB. Here’s a break-out of what’s what:
.sng = song files
.drm = drum sets
.pbf = folders for genre, setlist and etc
.bbt = project
The BBM is the app that you always use to get the content from your computer onto your SD card. Use the computer internal SD slot reader and if you don’t have one, it’s probably money well-spent to buy an external USB SD slot reader.
Follow the steps in the BB user quick start guide and user manual resources to walk you through the process. In a nutshell:
- Download and unzip content to your computer
- BBM - File - Import - Song to import single beats or songs (usually premium content or user-created content)
- BBM - File - Import - Folder to import - a folder of songs or beats
- BBM - File - Import - Drum set; this is a two-step process as you will also have to activate the drum set
- BBM - File - Export - Project to your SD card
One of the few times you’ll use your computer OS is to copy firmware update files to your SD card.
