Folder Select - Clarion FB278RBT Owner's Manual

MP3 Operations
Supports ID3 Tags v2.3 and v2.4. Earlier ID3 tags
version is ignored but the track is playable.
Only ASCII characters can be displayed in Tags.
UNICODE ID3 ( Chinese, Japanese and etc ) is not
supported.
If ID3 TAG has Japanese, Chinese or other non-
supported characters, " ∗ " will be displayed as
substitution.
The folder name will be displayed as " ( Root ) " which
the file allocates in the root directory.
MP3 playing order
When selected for playing folder/track up down
functions, files and folders are always accessed
in alphabetical order. Due to this, the order in
which they are expected to be played may not
match the order in which they are actually played.
If you do not want the tracks to play in alphabeti-
cal order, then you can prefix them with 00, 01,
02 etc. to force them to play in a certain order.
Please refer chapter "Folder structure" on page
14 for recommended folder/file hierarchy.
