MP3-CD/USB operation
using umlauts or special
characters.
If you use file names with more
f
than 16 characters (including
".MP3" or ".WMA"), the
maximum number of tracks and
directories is reduced.
If you want your files to appear in a particular
sequence, save the files on the data carrier in
the sequence in which you want to play them
later. The device plays back the files in the
order in which they were physically stored on
the data carrier.
To play back files in this device, the MP3 files
must have the file extension
".MP3", while the WMA filenames must have
the extension "WMA".
Note:
In order to ensure uninterrupted
playback,
f Do not try changing the file
extension to ".MP3" of any files
that are not MP3 files and then
attempt to play them! The device
will ignore these invalid files
during playback.
Do not use "mixed" CDs
f
containing both non-MP3 data
and MP3 tracks (the device only
reads MP3 files during MP3
playback).
Do not use mix-mode CDs
f
containing both CD-audio tracks
and MP3 tracks. If you try
playing a mix-mode CD, the
Robert Bosch Car Multimedia GmbH
device will only play the
CD-audio tracks.

Preparing a USB data carrier

For the device to recognize a USB data carrier,
it must be specified as mass storage device
and formatted using the FAT16 or FAT32 file
system, and it must contain MP3 or WMA files.
You can put up to 5,000 files on a USB data
carrier (without ID3 tags). The directories and
tracks can be selected individually with this
device. If you use tracks with ID3 tags the
maximum number of files is reduced.
Bosch cannot guarantee the proper functioning
of all USB data carriers available on the market.

ID3 tags

MP3 tracks can contain additional information
such as the artist, album and track name (ID3
tags). This device can display version 1 and 2
ID3 tags.

Switching to MP3 mode

Activating the MP3 mode of a CD

For an MP3 CD, the MP3 mode is activated in
the same way as the normal CD mode. For
further information, please read the section
entitled "Starting the CD mode" in the "CD
mode" chapter.
The display shows the number of the current
track (e.g. "T12") and the playing time, as well
as track information (ID3 tags) or the file
name. When changing to another directory, the
directory name is briefly displayed.
