Mp3 Format - GMC 2008 Sierra 1500 Pickup Owner's Manual

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.
•
Make sure the CD does not have more than a
maximum of 50 folders, 50 playlists, and 255 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
8 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).
3-98
•
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 can 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 may cause the disc not
to function in the player.
Playlists can be changed by using the previous and
next folder buttons, 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, 50 playlists, and 255 files, the player lets you
access and navigate up to the maximum, but all items
over the maximum are not accessible.
