MP3/WMA CD-R Disc Format
If you burn your own MP3/WMA
disc on a personal computer:
.Make sure the MP3/WMA files
are recorded on a CD-R disc.
.Do not mix standard audio and
MP3/WMA files on one disc.
.Make sure each MP3/WMA file
has a .m3u or .wma extension,
other file extensions might
not work.
.Files can be recorded with a
variety of fixed 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.
.Make sure to finalize the disc
when burning an MP3/WMA 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 50 folders,
5 sessions, and 999 files. Long file
names and folder names can use
more disc memory space than
necessary. To conserve space on
the disc, minimize the length of the
file and folder names. An MP3/WMA
CD that was recorded using no file
folders can also be played. The
system can support up to eight
folders in depth; however, 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 50 folders, 5 sessions,
and 999 files, the player lets you
access and navigate up to the
maximum, but all items over the
maximum are ignored.

Root Directory
The root directory is treated as a
folder. If the root directory has
compressed audio files, the
directory is displayed as ROOT. All
files contained directly under the
root directory are accessed prior to
any other directory.
Empty Directory or Folder
If a root directory or a folder exists
somewhere in the file structure that
contains only folders/subfolders
and no compressed files directly
beneath them, the player advances
to the next folder in the file structure
that contains compressed audio
files. The empty folder does not
display.
No Folder
When a CD contains only
compressed files, the files are
located under the root folder. The
next and previous folder function
does not function on a CD that wasrecorded without folders or playlists.
When displaying the name of the
folder the radio displays ROOT.
When a CD contains only
compressed audio files, but no
folders, all files are located under
the root folder. When the radio
displays the name of the folder, the
radio displays ROOT.
Order of Play
Play will begin from the first track
under the root directory. When all
tracks from the root directory have
been played, play will continue from
files according to their numerical
listing. After playing the last track
from the last folder, the player will
begin playing again at the first track
of the first folder or root directory.
File System and Naming
The song name in the ID3 tag is
displayed. If the song name is not
present in the ID3 tag, then the
radio displays the file name without
the extension (such as MP3/WMA)
instead.Track names longer than
32 characters or 4 pages are
shortened. Parts of words on the
last page of text and the extension
of the filename do not display.
Playing an MP3/WMA
With the ignition in the ON/RUN
position, insert a CD partway into
the slot, label side up. The player
pulls the disc in. The CD should
begin playing. As each new track
starts to play, the track number and
the song name will appear on the
display. If the ignition or radio is
turned off with a CD in the player, it
will stay in the player. When a CD is
in the player and the ignition is
turned on, the radio must be turned
on before the CD will start playback.
When the ignition and radio are
turned on, the CD will start playing
where it stopped, if it was the last
selected audio source.

.Use of non-GM approved hood
deflectors may adversely affect
the performance of the system.
.Keep the path under the front
seats clear of objects to help
circulate the air inside of the
vehicle more effectively.
