256 kbps, and 320 kbps or a
variable bit rate. Song title, artist
name, and album can display when
files are recorded using ID3 tags
version 1 and 2.
Creating an MP3/WMA Disc
When creating an MP3/WMA disc:
.Make sure the MP3/WMA files
are recorded on a CD-R or
CD-RW disc.
.Do not mix standard audio and
MP3/WMA files on one disc.
.Make sure the CD does not
have more than a maximum of
50 folders and playlists, and
255 files to read and play.
.Create a folder structure that
makes it easy to find songs
while driving. Organize songs by
albums using one folder for each
album. Each folder or album
should contain 18 songs or less.
.Avoid subfolders. The system
can support up to
eight subfolders deep. Keep thetotal number of folders to a
minimum to reduce the
complexity and confusion during
playback.
.Create playlists that have a .m3u
or .wpl extension; other file
extensions may not work.
.Minimize the length of the file,
folder, or playlist names. Long
file, folder, or playlist names,
or a combination of a large
number of files, folders,
or playlists can cause the player
to be unable to play up to the
maximum number of files,
folders, playlists, or sessions.
.Finalize the audio disc before
burning it. Adding music to an
existing disc can cause the disc
not to function.
Playlists can be selected by using
the previous and next folder
buttons, the SEEK arrows, or the
\
FWD orsREV buttons. An MP3/
WMA CD-R or CD-RW that was
recorded using no file folders can also be played. If a CD-R or CD-RW
contains more than the maximum of
50 folders and playlists, and 255
files, the player lets you access and
navigate up to the maximum, but all
items over the maximum are not
accessible.
The HDD Radio can support more
than 255 files on an MP3/WMA disc.
The HDD Radio does not support
playlists on a disc or USB storage
device.
Root Directory
The root directory of the CD-R or
CD-RW is treated as a folder. If the
root directory has compressed audio
files, the directory displays as F1
DISC. All files contained directly
under the root directory are
accessed prior to any root directory
folders. Playlists (Px) are always
accessed after root folders or files.
The HDD Radio displays the root
directory of an MP3/WMA disc as
F1 MP3 and the root directory of a
USB storage device as F1 USB.

Empty Directory or Folder
If a root directory or a folder exists
somewhere in the file structure that
contains empty folders and no
compressed files in them, the player
advances to the next folder in the
file structure that contains
compressed audio files.
No Folder
When the CD contains only
compressed files, the files are under
the root folder. The next and
previous folder functions do not
display on a CD that was recorded
without folders or playlists. The
radio displays F1 DISC for the root
directory.
When the CD contains only playlists
and compressed audio files, but no
folders, all files are under the root
folder. The folder down and the
folder up buttons search playlists
(Px) first and then go to the root
folder. The radio displays F1 DISC
for the root directory.Order of Play
Tracks recorded to the CD-R or
CD-RW play in the following order:
.Play begins from the first track in
the first folder and continues
sequentially through all tracks in
each folder. When the last track
of the last folder has played,
play continues from the first
track of the first playlist.
.Play begins from the first track in
the first playlist and continues
sequentially through all tracks in
each playlist. When the last
track of the last playlist has
played, play continues from the
first track of the first folder.
Playlists can be changed by
pressing the next and previous
folder button.
When play enters a new folder, the
display does not automatically show
the new folder name unless the
folder mode has been chosen as
the default display. The new track
name displays. File System and Naming
The song name contained in the ID3
tag displays. If the song name is not
in the ID3 tag, the radio displays the
file name without the extension.
Track names longer than 32
characters are shortened. Parts of
words on the last page of text and
the extension of the file name are
not displayed.
The HDD Radio will display file
names with the extension.
Preprogrammed Playlists
Preprogrammed playlists created
using WinAmp™, MusicMatch™,
or Real Jukebox™
software can be
accessed, however they cannot be
edited using the radio. These
playlists are special folders
containing compressed audio song
files. Playlists must have a file
extension of PLS or M3U.
Playlists can be selected using the
previous and next folder buttons.
Tracks can be changed by pressing
the seek buttons or turning the
