Using an MP3 CD and DVD
MP3 Format
Certain guidelines must be met
when creating an MP3 disc. If the
following guidelines are not met
when recording a CD-R(W), the CD
may not play:
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 fewer.
It is recommended that there is a
maximum of 1,024 files on
a disc.
The files can be recorded on a
CD-R or CD-RW with a
maximum capacity of 700 MB.
Root Directory
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.
Empty Directory or Folder
If there is a root directory or a folder
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. The empty folder will not be
displayed or numbered.
No Folder
When the CD contains only
compressed files, the files are 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 under the root
folder. The left and right arrow
