tracks, Audio 20 will treat the CD as a
conventional audio CD. This means that it is
not possible to access the MP3 tracks.

format, Audio 20 will not treat the CD as an
audio CD. This means that it is only possible
to access the MP3 tracks.
Track and file names
When you create an MP3 disc, you can assign
names to the MP3 tracks and folders.
Audio 20 uses these names for the display in
MP3 mode. Empty folders or folders which
contain data other than MP3 tracks are not
displayed by Audio 20.
If MP3 files are stored in the root directory
itself, the root directory will also be treated
as a folder. Audio 20 will show the name of
the root directory as the folder name.
You must observe the following when
assigning track names:
track names must have at least one
R
character.
track names must have the extension
R
"mp3".
there must be a dot between the track
R
name and the extension.
