•
DO NOT store more than 1000 MP3 files per disc.
•
For ISO 9660 -compliant format, the maximum allowable depth of nested folders is 8, including the root directory(folder).
•
When CD-R disc is used, playback is possible only for discs which have been finalized.
•
Make sure that when MP3 CD-R or CD-RW is burned that it is formatted as a data disc and NOT as an audio disc.
•
Y ou should not write non-MP3 files or unneeded folders along with MP3 files on the disc otherwise it takes a long time until the unit starts to play
MP3 files.
•
With some CD-R or CD-RW media, data may not be properly written depending on their manufacturing quality. In this case, data may not be
eproduced correctly. High quality CD-R or CD-RW disc is recommended.
