the first playlist and continues
sequentially through all tracks in
each playlist. When the last
track of the last playlist has been
played, play continues from the
first track of the first playlist.
.If the CD does not contain any
playlists, then play begins from
the first track under the root
directory. When all tracks from
the root directory have been
played, play continues from files
according to their numerical
listing. After playing the last
track from the last folder, play
begins again at the first track of
the first folder or root directory.
When play enters a new folder, the
display automatically shows the new
folder name. The new track name
displays. File System and Naming
