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 configura-
tion 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 direc-
tories which can be selected for playback. However,
directory A showing
for its total track number
0T r
cannot be selected for playback.
When an MP3 disc is created in an ordinary PC, most-
ly, the files (tracks) are shown in the alphabetic order.
However, the CC-222SL
MK
MP3 files in the order that the files were written on the
disc, so the file order shown on this unit may be differ-
ent from the ones on PC.
The CC-222SL
II can play back MP3 files recorded in
MK
formats which conform to ISO9660 level 1, level 2, and the
Joliet extensions. Discs recorded in multiple sessions may
also be played back.
For MP3 CDs to be played by this unit, the following limi-
tations 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
About MP3 track data

On this unit, file name or MP3 TAG information (track
