and ignore the MP3 files. Pressing the CAT (category)
button toggles between compressed and uncompressed
audio format.
MP3 Format
If you burn your own MP3 disc on a personal computer:
•
Make sure the MP3 files are recorded on a CD-R
or CD-RW disc.
•
Do not mix standard audio and MP3 files on one
disc.
•
The CD player is able to read and play a maximum
of 50 folders, 50 playlists, and 255 files.
•
Create a folder structure that makes it easy to find
songs while driving. Organize songs by albums
using one folder for each album. Each folder
or album should contain 18 songs or less.
•
Avoid subfolders. The system can support up to
eight subfolders deep, however, keep the total
number of folders to a minimum in order to reduce
the complexity and confusion in trying to locate
a particular folder during playback.
•
Make sure playlists have a .mp3 or .wpl extension,
other file extensions may not work.
•
Minimize the length of the file, folder or playlist
names. Long file, folder, or playlist names, or a
combination of a large number of files and folders,

or playlists can cause the player to be unable to
play up to the maximum number of files, folders,
playlists, or sessions. If you wish to play a
large number of files, folders, playlists or sessions,
minimize the length of the file, folder, or playlist
name. Long names also take up more space on the
display, potentially getting cut off.
•
Finalize the audio disc before you burn it. Trying to
add music to an existing disc can cause the disc
not to function in the player.
Playlists can be changed by using the previous and
next folder buttons, the tune knob, or the SEEK arrows.
You can also play an MP3 CD-R or CD-RW that was
recorded using no file folders. If a CD-R or CD-RW
contains more than the maximum of 50 folders,
50 playlists, and 255 files, the player lets you access
and navigate up to the maximum, but all items over the
maximum are not accessible.
Root Directory
The root directory of the CD-R or CD-RW is treated as
a folder. If the root directory has compressed audio
files, the directory displays as F1 ROOT. All files
contained directly under the root directory are accessed
prior to any root directory folders. However, playlists
(Px) are always accessed before root folders or files.
