Mp3 Format - Pontiac 2006 Torrent Owner's Manual

Using an MP3 CD

MP3 Format

If you burn your own MP3 disc on a personal computer:
•
Make sure the MP3 files are recorded on a
CD-R disc.
•
Make sure to finalize the disc when burning an
MP3 disc, using multiple sessions. It is usually
better to burn the disc all at once.
•
Files can be recorded with a variety of fixed or
variable bit rates. Song title, artist name, and
album will be available for display by the radio
when recorded using ID3 tags version 1 and 2.
•
Do not mix standard audio and MP3 files on
one disc.
•
Make sure playlists have a.pls, or.m3u, or.rmp
extension, other file extensions may not work.
The player will be able to read and play a maximum
of 50 folders, 50 playlists, 10 sessions, and 255 files.
Long file names, folder names, or playlist names
may use more disc memory space than necessary.
To conserve space on the disc, minimize the length
of the file, folder or playlist names. You can also play
an MP3 CD that was recorded using no file folders.
3-60
The system can support up to 11 folders in depth,
though, keep the depth of the folders to a minimum in
order to keep down the complexity and confusion
in trying to locate a particular folder during playback.
Root Directory
The root directory will be treated as a folder. If the root
directory has compressed audio files, the directory
will be displayed as ROOT. All files contained directly
under the root directory will be accessed prior to
any root directory folders. However, playlists (Px) will
always be accessed before root folders or files.
Empty Directory or Folder
If a root directory or a folder exists somewhere in the
file structure that contains only folders/subfolders and no
compressed files directly beneath them, the player will
advance to the next folder in the file structure that
contains compressed audio files and the empty folder
will not be displayed or numbered.
