Dumping whole songs in IMPORT and chopping them

Yes, as long as they are WAV, AIFF or MP3 under 16 minutes, but each song still has to be imported to a pad, and it's best to chop one section at a time.

Why some Bandcamp albums show "Unsupported FILE"

The Gost Zvuk album failed with Unsupported FILE; its filenames have en dashes and Cyrillic, so a copy with short ASCII names was put on the card to test.

Copying the Ableton Latin Percussion pack to the SD card

Ableton Factory Pack samples are encrypted files only Live can read, so they have to be exported from Live as WAV before they can go on the card.
