Using An Mp3 Cd And Dvd Mp3 Format; Root Directory; Empty Directory Or Folder; No Folder - Cadillac 2013 CTS Owner's Manual

If the CD/DVD is not playing
correctly, for any other reason, try a
known good disc.
If any error occurs repeatedly or if
an error cannot be corrected,
contact your dealer.
There are guidelines that must be
met, when creating an MP3 disc.
If the guidelines are not met when
recording a CD-R(W), the CD may
not play. The guidelines are:
Sampling rate: 8 kHz, 16 kHz,
22.05 kHz, 24 kHz, 32 kHz,
44.1 kHz, and 48 kHz.
Bit rates supported: 8, 16, 24,
32, 40, 48, 56, 64, 80, 96, 112,
128, 144, 160, 192, 224, 256,
and 320 kbps.
ID3 tag information is displayed
by the radio if it is available. The
radio will display a filename,
song name, artist name, album
name, and directory name.
Maximum number of folders is
255 with a maximum hierarchy
of eight folders.
Create a folder structure that
makes it easy to find songs
while driving. Each folder or
album should contain 18 songs
or less.
It is recommended that there is a
maximum of 1024 files on a disc.
The files can be recorded on a
CD-R or CD-RW with a
maximum capacity of 700 MB.
The root directory is treated as a
folder. If the root directory has
compressed audio files, the
directory displays as DISC. All files
contained directly under the root
directory are accessed prior to any
root directory folders. However,
playlists can always be accessed
before root folders or files.
If a root directory or a folder exists
somewhere in the file structure that
contains only folders/subfolders and
no compressed files directly
beneath them, the player advances
to the next folder in the file structure
that contains compressed audio
files and the empty folder will not be
displayed or numbered.
When the CD contains only
compressed files, the files are
located under the root folder. The
next and previous folder functions
have no function on a CD that was
recorded without folders or playlists.
When displaying the name of the
folder the radio displays Disc.
When the CD contains only playlists
and compressed audio files, but no
folders, all files are located under
the root folder. The left and right
