Multisession CDs
On multisession CDs, the content of the
first session determines how COMAND
handles the CD.
If the first session, for example, contains
data in audio CD format and the second
session contains MP3 tracks, COMAND
handles the CD as a conventional audio
CD. This means that the MP3 tracks can-
not be accessed.

Similarly, if the first session contains MP3
tracks and the second session contains
data in audio CD format, COMAND handles
the CD as an MP3 CD. Only the MP3 tracks
can be accessed.
File Structure of Storage Medium
When creating an MP3 storage medium,
you can organize MP3 tracks into folders.
A folder can also contain additional fold-
ers. A storage medium may have a maxi-
mum of 255 folders in total. A maximum of
255 tracks and 255 folders are permissible
per folder. A maximum of 1200 tracks in
total are permissible per storage medium.
Track Names and Folder Names
When creating an MP3 storage medium,
you can assign names to the MP3 tracks
and to the folders.
COMAND uses these names in MP3 mode
for the corresponding display. Empty fold-
ers or folders containing data other than
MP3 tracks will not be displayed by
COMAND.
If MP3 files are stored in the root directory
itself, the root directory also counts as a
folder. COMAND will then display the root
directory name as a folder name.
Please note the following when assigning
track names:
Track names must contain at least one
character.
Track names must have the extension
"mp3".
A period must appear between the
track name and the extension.

placed by the designation "MP3".
