-In this guide, we'll explore the fusion of p5.js and [Node.js](http://node.js) to create dynamic applications that save and retrieve user-generated drawings, animations, and sound projects! For example, you can create a [Simple Melody App](/tutorials/simple-melody-app/) where you save files with melodies you create by interacting with the canvas! Node.js allows you to easily save, replay, and edit these files right from your browser!

 The code above initializes the [file system module (`fs`)](https://nodejs.org/api/fs.html), which provides APIs that help users interact with file systems on their computers. It also uses the `app.get()` method, which handles GET HTTP requests to the `/songs`  URL. Here you use the file system module to read filenames from the folder, parse them as a JSON object, and send them in the response to the GET request.
 
 Now that you have instructed the GET request on how to read the songs folder filenames, we can upload filenames as a JSON object in `sketch.js`.
 
-- Use `preload()` and `loadJSON()` to load files from the songs folder in a global variable named `songs`. Visit the [p5.js reference](/reference) to learn more about [`preload()`](/reference/p5/preload) and [`loadJSON()`](/reference/p5/loadJSON).
-- Use `console.log(songs)` in `setup()` to print the contents of the JSON array.
+**Note:** In p5.js 2.x, the `preload()` function and synchronous loading methods have been removed. Instead, you should use `async`/`await` and the browser's `fetch` API to load data before using it in your sketch. Here is how you can update your `sketch.js`:
 
-Your sketch.js file should look like this:
 
 ```js
-//variable for JSON object with file names
 let songs;
 
-function preload() {
-  //load and save the songs folder as JSON
-  songs = loadJSON("/songs");
-}
-
-function setup() {
-  createCanvas(400, 400);
-  console.log(songs)
+async function setup() {
+  createCanvas(400, 400);
+  // Fetch the list of songs from the server via loadJSON
+  songs = await loadJSON('/songs');
+  console.log(songs);
 }
