Playing an MP3 CD-R Disc
Radios with the MP3 feature are capable of playing
an MP3 CD-R disc. For more information on how to play
an MP3 CD-R disc, seeUsing an MP3 on page 3-111
later in this section.
Care of CDs
The sound quality of the CD player can be reduced
because of:
The CD-R quality.
The method of recording the CD-R.
The quality of the music that has been recorded on
the CD-R.
The way the CD-R has been handled.
Store CDs in their original cases or other protective
cases and away from dust and direct sunlight. The CD
player scans the bottom surface of the disc. If the surface
of a CD is damaged, such as cracked, broken, or
scratched, the CD may not play properly or at all. Do not
touch the bottom side of a CD while handling it; this could
damage the surface. Pick up CDs by grasping the outer
edges or the edge of the hole and the outer edge.To clean a CD, use a soft lint free cloth, or dampen a
clean soft cloth in a mild neutral detergent solution
mixed with water. Wipe the CD from the center to
the edge.
Care of the CD Player
Use a marking pen to identify CDs, do not add labels.
Do not use CD lens cleaners, they could damage the CD
player.
Notice:If a label is added to a CD, or more than
one CD is inserted into the slot at a time, or an
attempt is made to play scratched or damaged CDs,
the CD player could be damaged. While using the
CD player, use only CDs in good condition without
any label, load one CD at a time, and keep the
CD player and the loading slot free of foreign
materials, liquids, and debris.
If an error displays, see “CD Messages” later in this
section.

Using an MP3
MP3 CD-R Disc
MP3 Format
The MP3 player will only play CD-R discs. It can read
and play a maximum of:
50 folders.
11 folders in depth
50 playlists
10 sessions
255 les
All folders, playlists, sessions and les over the
maximum are ignored.
When recording an MP3 disc, make sure that:
Playlists use an .m3u or .wpl extension.
Standard audio and compressed audio les are not
mixed on the same disc.
The disc is nalized when using multiple sessions.
File Naming
Song title, artist name, and album are available for
display by the radio when recorded using ID3 tags
version 1 and 2.
The song name that is displayed on the radio is the
song name that is contained in the ID3 tag. If the song
name is not present in the ID3 tag, the radio displays the
le name without the le extension as the track name.
Track names longer than 32 characters or four pages
are shortened. Parts of words on the last page of
text and the extension of the lename do not display.
Order of Play
Playlists are accessed before les or folders in the root
directory.
CD’s that have playlists play the tracks in the following
order:
1. After the rst track in the rst playlist ends, play
continues sequentially through all tracks in each
playlist.
2. After the last track of the last playlist ends, play
restarts from the rst track of the rst playlist.
3-111

CD’s that do not have playlists play the tracks in the
following order:
1. The rst le in the root directory plays.
2. After all les from the root directory have played,
les in the folders play.
3. After playing the last le from the last folder, play
restarts with the rst le in the root directory.
Preprogrammed Playlists
Preprogrammed playlists created by WinAmp™,
MusicMatch™, or Real Jukebox™ software can be
accessed, but not edited by the radio, and are treated
as special folders containing compressed audio
song les.
Root Directory
The root directory is treated as a folder and displays on
the radio as F1 ROOT. All compressed audio les in
the root directory are accessed before folders in the
root directory.
Empty Directory or Folder
Empty folders and directories do not display on the
radio and the system ignores them and advances to
the next directory or folder that has compressed audio
les in it.
No Folder
On a CD that only contains compressed audio les in
the root directory, the next and previous folder functions
do not work. The radio displays ROOT when displaying
the name of the folder.
On a CD that only contains playlists and compressed
audio les, the next and previous folder functions search
playlists rst and then search compressed audio les
in the root folder. The radio displays ROOT when
displaying the name of the folder.
