Do I need to power off to remove the SD card?

No: the manual's only rule is never to remove the card or switch off while the screen shows "Working..."; eject F: in Windows before pulling it from the PC.

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.
