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.
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 configuration 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
Each MP3 file is handled as a track.
Directories that 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 directory C. If there are MP3 files in
both directories B and C, directory A cannot be select-
ed for playback, but directory B and C can be selected
for playback.
The CD-RW901MKII can play back MP3 files recorded in
formats that conform to ISO9660 level 1, level 2, and the Joliet
extensions. Discs recorded in multiple sessions may also be
played back.
CDs containing MP3s to be played by the CD-RW901MKII, have
their contents must be within the following maximum limits:
Number of directories: 255
Number of hierarchical structures: 8
Number of MP3 files: 999
Title size of MP3 files and directories: 255
