radio CADILLAC ESCALADE 2007 3.G Owner's Guide

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, and
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. 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, and
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.
