MP3

MP3/WMA Format
If you burn your own MP3/WMA
disc on a personal computer:
Make sure the MP3/WMA files
are recorded on a CD-R disc.
Do not mix standard audio and
MP3/WMA files on one disc.
Make sure each MP3/WMA file
has a .mp3 or .wma extension,
other file extensions may
not work.
Files can be recorded with a
variety of fixed or variable bit
rates. Song title, artist name,
and album will be available for
display by the infotainment
system when recorded using ID3
tags version 1 and 2.
Create a folder structure that
makes it easy to find songs
while driving. Organise songs by
albums using one folder for each
album. Each folder or album
should contain 18 songs or less.
Make sure to finalise the disc
when burning an MP3/WMA
disc, using multiple sessions.
It is usually better to burn the
disc all at once.
The player will be able to read and
play a maximum of 50 folders,
5 sessions, and 999 files.
Long file names, folder names may
use more disc memory space than
necessary. To conserve space on
the disc, minimise the length of the
file, folder names. You can also play
an MP3/WMA CD that was recorded
using no file folders. The system
can support up to 8 folders in depth,
though, keep the depth of the
folders to a minimum in order to
keep down the complexity and
confusion in trying to locate a
particular folder during playback. If a
CD contains more than the
maximum of 50 folders, 5 sessions,
and 999 files the player will let you
Infotainment System
access and navigate up to the
maximum, but all items over the
maximum will be ignored.
Root Directory
The root directory will be treated as
a folder. If the root directory has
compressed audio files, the
directory will be displayed as ROOT.
All files contained directly under the
root directory will be accessed prior
to any other directory.
Empty Directory or Folder
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 will
advance to the next folder in the file
structure that contains compressed
audio files and the empty folder will
not be displayed or numbered.
No Folder
When the CD contains only
compressed files, the files will be
located under the root folder.
