Using an MP3
MP3 CD-R Disc
MP3 Format
If you burn your own MP3 disc on a personal computer:
Make sure the MP3 les are recorded on a
CD-R disc.
Do not mix standard audio and MP3 les on
one disc.
Make sure playlists have a .mp3 or .wpl extension,
other le extensions may not work.
Files can be recorded with a variety of xed or
variable bit rates. Song title, artist name, and
album are available for display by the radio when
recorded using ID3 tags version 1 and 2.
Create a folder structure that makes it easy to nd
songs while driving. Organize songs by albums
using one folder for each album. Each folder
or album should contain 18 songs or less.
Make sure to nalize the disc when burning an
MP3 disc, using multiple sessions. It is usually
better to burn the disc all at once.
The player is able to read and play a maximum of
99 folders and playlists. Long le names, folder names,
or playlist names can use more disc memory space
than necessary. To conserve space on the disc,
minimize the length of the le, folder, or playlist names.
You can also play an MP3 CD that 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 99 folders and playlists the player can
access and navigate up to the maximum, but all
items over the maximum are ignored.
