Playback order of MP3 audio tracks
Albums containing MP3 audio tracks play in the
following order.
A t B t C t D t F t G. Albums that
do not contain tracks (such as album E) are
skipped.
Tree 1 Tree 2 Tree 3
ROOT
Album
MP3 audio track
When you insert a DATA CD and press
H, the numbered tracks are played sequentially,
from 1 through 7. Any sub-albums/tracks
contained within a currently selected album take
priority over the next album in the same tree.
(Example: C contains D so 4 is played before
5.)
z Hints
• You can view the disc information while playing MP3
audio tracks (page 39).
• If you add numbers (01, 02, 03, etc.) to the front of the
track names when you store the tracks in a disc, the
tracks will be played in that order.
• Since a disc with many trees takes longer to start
playback, it is recommended that you create albums
with no more than two trees.
Tree 4 Tree 5
Notes
• Depending on the software you use to create the DATA
CD, the playback order may differ from the above
illustration.
• Proceeding to the next or another album may take some
time.
• The recorder may not be able to play some DATA CDs
created in the Packet Write format.
• The recorder will play any data with the extension
".MP3," even if they are not in MP3 format. Playing
this data may generate a loud noise which could
damage your speaker system.
• The recorder does not conform to audio tracks in
MP3PRO format.
• The playback order above may not be applicable if
there are more than a total of 999 albums and tracks in
the DATA CD.
• The recorder can recognize up to 499 albums (the
recorder will count just albums, including albums that
do not contain MP3 audio tracks). The recorder will not
play any albums beyond the first 499 albums. Of the
first 499 albums, the recorder will play no more than a
combined total of 999 albums and tracks.
• The recorder can play MP3 audio tracks recorded in the
following sampling frequencies: 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz,
48 kHz.
• Only the letters in the alphabet and numbers can be
used for album or track names. Anything else is
displayed as " * ."
• ID3 tags cannot be displayed.
