Need tech help with Roland Spd-s

Well this info was easy to find:

What you want to check:

When you want to copy or save any audio file (WAV/AIFF) to a CompactFlash card, place it at the “root” (uppermost level) of the card. The SPD-S does not import any files from anywhere other than the root.

• Make sure that a WAV file has a “.wav” extension and that an AIFF file has an “.aif” extension. Loop points set in AIFF files are disabled. The SPD-S does not recognize any files with other extensions.

• Sample rate conversion is not supported. Files are imported at the sample rate of 44.1 kHz. If any files with sample rates other than 44.1 kHz are imported, they will produce a deviation in playback pitch.

• When importing, the SPD-S recognizes a maximum of 100 audio files and file names that have more than eight characters will not appear properly.

What cannot be imported:

• The SPD-S supports 8 or 16 bit samples. 24 bit samples cannot be imported.

• If you try to import any WAV/AIFF file in a format that is not supported by the SPD-S, an error message reading “unsupported!” is displayed. No such file can be imported.

• No compressed audio files (WAV/AIFF) can be imported.

• It may be impossible to import audio files (WAV/AIFF) of an extremely short duration.

If your files are the wrong sample rate, you can open them in a free program such as Audacity (choose a different sample rate when exporting to a new file).
