Mp3 Display Options - Ford Audio System Owner's Handbook Manual

• When skipping a portion of ID3 tag
ver.2 (at the beginning of the
track), sound is not output. Skip
time changes depending ID3 tag
ver.2 capacity. Example: At 64
kbytes, it is about 2 seconds (with
RealJukebox).
• The displayed elapsed playing
time when skipping a portion of
ID3 tag ver.2 is inaccurate. For
MP3 files of a bit rate other than
128 kbps, time is not displayed
accurately during playback.
• When an MP3 file is created with
MP3 conversion software (e.g.
RealJukebox - a registered
trademark of RealNetworks Inc),
ID3 ver.2 will automatically be
written.
MP3 navigation
MP3 tracks may be recorded on the
CD in several ways. They can all be
placed in the root directory like a
conventional audio CD, or they can
be placed in folders that may
represent, for example, an album, an
artist, or a genre.
The normal playing sequence on CDs
with multiple folders is to play the
tracks in the first folder, then the
tracks in any folder(s) nested inside
the first folder, then move onto the
second folder, and so forth. For
example, if folder 1 has folders 1a and
1b within it, and folder 2 contains
folder 2a, the playing sequence will
be folder 1, 1a, 1b, 2, 2a.
Compact disc player
• Press the up/down arrow buttons
to select another folder.
• Press the left/right arrow buttons
to select another track (file) within
the folder.

MP3 DISPLAY OPTIONS

When an MP3 disc is playing, certain
information encoded in each track
can be displayed. Such information
will normally include:
• The file name
• The folder name
• ID3 information which might be
the album or artist's name
The unit will normally show the file
name that is playing. To select one
of the other items of information:
• Press the CD INFO button
repeatedly until the display
required is shown.
• If the ID3 information selected is
unavailable, NO MP3 TAG'
appears in the display.
Scrolling MP3 displays
Note: This feature is not enabled on
Sony Generation 2 units.
Display information will scroll once
across the display as each track
starts, so the full line can be read. The
display will then return to a static
display showing the first few
characters of whatever information
you have chosen.
