Audio mode
Due to the larger quantity of data, the unit takes longer to read a data medium
containing compressed audio files (MP3) than a "normal" audio CD. Complex
folder structures can also slow down the reading of a data medium.
Playlists only determine a certain playing order. There are no files stored in a
playlist. The unit will not play a playlist if the files are not on the data medium
at the locations referred to by the playlist (relative file paths).
Playing order of files and folders
Audio files
on data media are often organised by means of folders
playlists
to determine a certain playing order.
Tracks, folders and playlists on a data medium are sorted by name in alpha-
betic or numeric order.
Subfolders are treated like folders and numbered in accordance with the
sequence on the CD.
