MP3 Format
If you burn your own MP3 disc on a personal computer:
•
Make sure the MP3 files are recorded on a CD-R
or CD-RW disc.
•
Do not mix standard audio and MP3 files on
one disc.
•
The CD player is able to read and play a maximum
of 50 folders, 15 playlists, and 512 folders and files.
•
Create a folder structure that makes it easy to find
songs while driving. Organize songs by albums
using one folder for each album. Each folder
or album should contain 18 songs or less.
•
Avoid subfolders. The system can support up to
eight subfolders deep, however, keep the total
number of folders to a minimum in order to reduce
the complexity and confusion in trying to locate
a particular folder during playback.
•
Make sure playlists have a .mp3 or .wpl extension
(other file extensions might not work).
3-78
•
Minimize the length of the file, folder, or playlist
names. Long file, folder, or playlist names, or a
combination of a large number of files and folders,
or playlists could cause the player to be unable
to play up to the maximum number of files, folders,
playlists, or sessions. If you wish to play a large
number of files, folders, playlists or sessions,
minimize the length of the file, folder, or playlist
name. Long names also take up more space on
the display, potentially getting cut off.
•
Finalize the audio disc before you burn it. Trying to
add music to an existing disc could cause the disc
not to function in the player.
Playlists can be changed by using the
c T
and (next) folder buttons, the
© ¨
the SEEK arrows. You can also play an MP3
CD-R or CD-RW that was recorded using no file folders.
If a CD-R or CD-RW contains more than the maximum
of 50 folders, 15 playlists, and 512 folders and files, the
player lets you access and navigate up to the maximum,
but all items over the maximum are not accessible.
