Using an MP3 CD
MP3 Format
This MP3 player will accept MP3 les that were recorded
on an up to 700 MB CD-R CD. The les can be
recorded with the following xed bit rates: 32 kbps,
40 kbps, 56 kbps, 64 kbps, 80 kbps, 96 kbps, 112 kbps,
128 kbps, 160 kbps, 192 kbps, 224 kbps, 256 kbps,
and 320 kbps or a variable bit rate. Song title, artist
name, and album will be available when recorded using
ID3 tags versions 1 and 2.
The player will be able to read and play a maximum of
50 folders, 50 playlists, 10 sessions, and 255 les.
Long le, folder, or playlist names or a combination of a
large number of les and folders or playlists may
cause the player to be unable to play up to the
maximum number of les, folders, playlists, or sessions.
If you wish to play large numbers of les, folders,
playlists or sessions minimize the length of the le,
folder or playlist name. You can also play an MP3 CDthat was recorded using no le folders. The system can
support up to 11 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, 50 playlists,
10 sessions, and 255 les the player will let you 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 les, the directory
will be displayed as F1 ROOT. All les contained directly
under the root directory will be accessed prior to any
root directory folders. However, playlists (Px) will always
be accessed before root folders or les.
Empty Directory or Folder
If a root directory or a folder exists somewhere in the
le structure that contains only folders/subfolders and no
compressed les directly beneath them, the player will
advance to the next folder in the le structure that
contains compressed audio les and the empty folder
will not be displayed or numbered.
3-86
ProCarManuals.com

No Folder
When the CD contains only compressed les, the les
will be located under the root folder. The next and
previous folder functions will have no function on a CD
that was recorded without folders or playlists. When
displaying the name of the folder the radio will
display ROOT.
When the CD contains only playlists and compressed
audio les, but no folders, all les will be located under
the root folder. The folder down and the folder up
buttons will search playlists (Px) rst and then go to the
root folder. When the radio displays the name of the
folder the radio will display ROOT.
Order of Play
Tracks will be played in the following order:
Play will begin from the rst track in the rst playlist
and will continue sequentially through all tracks in
each playlist. When the last track of the last playlist
has been played, play will continue from the rst
track of the rst playlist.
If the CD does not contain any playlists, then play
will begin from the rst track under the root directory.
When all tracks from the root directory have been
played, play will continue from les according to their
numerical listing. After playing the last track from the
last folder, play will begin again at the rst track of
the rst folder or root directory.When play enters a new folder, the display will not
automatically show the new folder name unless
you have chosen the folder mode as the default display.
See the information button later in this section for
more information. The new track name will appear on
the display.
File System and Naming
The song name that will be displayed will be the
song name that is contained in the ID3 tag. If the
song name is not present in the ID3 tag, then the
radio will display the le name without the extension
(such as .mp3) as the track name.
Track names longer than 32 characters or four pages
will be shortened. The display will not show parts
of words on the last page of text and the extension of
the lename will not be displayed.
Preprogrammed Playlists
You can access preprogrammed playlists which were
created by WinAmp™, MusicMatch™, or Real
Jukebox™ software, however, you will not have editing
capability. These playlists will be treated as special
folders containing compressed audio song les.
