MP3 track and folder structure

Your MP3 system recognizes MP3 individual tracks and folder structure
as follows:
• There are two different modes for MP3 disc playback: MP3 directory
mode (system default) and MP3 flat file mode. For more information
on directory and flat file mode, refer to Sample MP3 structure
following.
• MP3 flat file mode ignores any folder structure on the MP3 disc. The
player numbers each MP3 track on the disc (noted by the .mp3 file
extension) from T001 to a maximum of T255.
Note: The maximum number of playable MP3 files may be less
depending on the structure of the CD and exact model of radio
present.
• MP3 directory mode represents a folder structure consisting of one
level of folders. The CD player numbers all MP3 tracks on the disc
(noted by the .mp3 file extension) and all folders containing MP3 files,
from F001 (folder) T001 (track) to F253 T255.
• Creating discs with only one level of folders will help with navigation
through the disc files.
