Mp3 Display Options - Ford Ranger Owner's Handbook Manual

ID3 tag display
ID3 tag is a method for storing information
related to the music in an MP3 file.
Information such as track, artist and album
name can be stored. This content can be
freely edited using ID3 editing function
software.
This unit can only display ID3 Tag album,
track and artist names that have been
input using Ver1.0/1.1/2.2/2.3 formats. Any
other data that may have been input
cannot be displayed.
This unit can only display English (including
numerals) one-byte characters. Use only
English (including numerals) one-byte
characters when inputting ID3 tags.
Two-byte characters and some special
symbols cannot be displayed.
MP3 navigation
MP3 tracks may be recorded on the CD
in several ways. They can all be placed in
the root directory like a conventional audio
CD, or they can be placed in folders that
may represent, for example, an album, an
artist, or a genre.
The playing sequence on CDs with
multiple folders is to play the tracks from
shallow to deep as shown in the folder
illustration. The folder playback order is
automatically set and this order cannot
be changed.
• Press the DISC UP/DOWN buttons to
select another folder.
• Press the TRACK UP/DOWN buttons
to select another track (file) within the
folder.

MP3 DISPLAY OPTIONS

When an MP3 disc is playing, certain
information encoded in each track can be
displayed. Such information will normally
include:
Compact disc player
140
• The file name
• The folder name
• ID3 information which might be the
album or artist's name
The unit will normally show the file name
that is playing. To select one of the other
items of information:
• Press the DISPLAY button repeatedly
until the information required is shown.
• If the information selected is
unavailable, 'NO TITLE' appears in the
display.
Scrolling MP3 displays
Only 12 characters can be displayed at
one time. To display the rest of the
characters of a long title, turn the AUDIO
CONTROL/MANUAL TUNING dial to the
right. Hidden titles can be scrolled into the
display one character at a time.
Note: The displayable number of
characters is limited. If the number of
characters, including the file extension
(.mp3), exceeds 32 characters, it may not
be fully displayed.
CD text display options
When an audio disc with CD text is
playing, limited information encoded in
each track can be displayed. Such
information will normally include:
• The disc name
• The artist name
• The track name
These display options are selected in the
same way as MP3 displays.
