Compressed Audio
The radio also plays discs that
contain both uncompressed CD
audio (.CDA files) and MP3 files. By
default the radio reads only the
uncompressed audio and ignores
the MP3 files. Pressing the CAT
(category) button toggles between
compressed and uncompressed
audio format.
MP3 Supported File and Folder
Structure
To burn an MP3 disc on a personal
computer:
Make sure the MP3 files are
recorded on a CD-R or
CD-RW disc.
Do not mix standard audio and
MP3 files on one disc.
The CD player is able to read
and play a maximum of
50 folders, 50 playlists, and
255 files.
Create a folder structure that
makes it easy to find songs
while driving. Organize songs by
albums using one folder for each
album. Each folder or album
should contain 18 songs or less.
Avoid subfolders. The system
can support up to
eight subfolders deep; however,
keep the total number of folders
to a minimum in order to reduce
the complexity and confusion in
trying to locate a particular folder
during playback.
Make sure playlists have a .m3u
or .wpl extension; other file
extensions may not work.
Minimize the length of the file,
folder, or playlist names. Long
file, folder, or playlist names,
or a combination of a large
number of files, folders,
or playlists can cause the player
to be unable to play up to the
maximum number of files,
folders, playlists, or sessions. To
play a large number of files,
folders, playlists or sessions,
Black plate (17,1)
Infotainment System
minimize the length of the file,
folder, or playlist name. Long
names also take up more space
on the display, potentially getting
cut off.
Finalize the audio disc before
burning it. Trying to add music to
an existing disc can cause the
disc not to function in the player.
Playlists can be changed by using
c c
and , the tune knob,
or the SEEK arrows. An MP3 CD-R
or CD-RW that was recorded using
no file folders can also be played.
If a CD-R or CD-RW contains more
than the maximum of 50 folders, 50
playlists, and 255 files, the player
can access and navigate up to the
maximum, but all items over the
maximum are not accessible.
Root Directory
The root directory of the CD-R or
CD-RW is treated as a folder. If the
root directory has compressed audio
files, the directory displays as F1
ROOT. All files contained directly
under the root directory are
7-17
