Playing Back Mp3 Files; Directory Playback Setting - Tascam CC-222MK Owner's Manual

Playing back MP3 files

MP3 files recorded onto a CD are handled the same
way as files are handled in an ordinary PC, with some
MP3 files held within a directory. In addition, several
directories can be combined into one directory. This
results in multiple layers of directories and files.
NOTE
MP3 file formatted at 44,1 kHz sampling rate and
128 kbps or higher are required, otherwise, that
MP3 file cannot be played back.
Each MP3 file is handled as a track.
When the Directory mode is on, only those files within
a selected directory are available for playback.
When the directory mode is off, the directory configu-
ration is ignored, and all MP3 files recorded on the disc
are available for playback. Please note that Program
playback and Repeat playback only function within
directories.
NOTE
Directories which do not contain MP3 files directly
under them cannot be selected for playback. For
example, in the diagram below, under directory A
are directory B and C containing MP3 files in both
directories which can be selected for playback.
However, directory A showing 0Tr for its total track
number cannot be selected for playback.
When an MP3 disc is created in an ordinary PC,
mostly, the files (tracks) are shown in the alpha-
betic order. However, the CC-222MKIII gives track
numbers to MP3 files in the order that the files were
written on the disc, so the file order shown on this
unit may be different from the ones on PC.
The CC-222MKIII can play back MP3 files recorded in
formats which conform to ISO9660 level 1, level 2, and
the Joliet extensions. Discs recorded in multiple ses-
sions may also be played back.
For MP3 CDs to be played by this unit, the following
limitations have been placed on the number of MP3
files and directories.
Maximum number of directories: 255
Maximum number of hierarchical structures: 8
Maximum number of MP3 files: 999
Maximum title size of MP3 files and directories: 255
