No Folder
When the CD contains only
compressed files, the files are
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 No
Folder.
Order of Play
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 does not automatically show
the new folder name. The new track
name appears on the display.File System and Naming
The song name that displays is the
song name that is contained in the

track name.
Track names longer than 32
characters or four pages are
shortened. The display does not
show parts of words on the last
page of text and the extension of
the filename does not display.
