No Folder
When the CD contains only
compressed files, the files are
located under the root folder. The
next and previous folder functions
have no function on a CD that was
recorded without folders or playlists.
When displaying the name of the
folder the radio displays ROOT.
When the CD contains only playlists
and compressed audio files, but no
folders, all files are located under
the root folder. The folder down
and the folder up buttons search
playlists (Px) first and then go to the
root folder. When the radio displays
the name of the folder, the radio
displays ROOT.Order of Play
Tracks are played in the following
order:
.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 playlist.
.If the CD does not contain any
playlists, then play begins from
the first track under the root
directory. When all tracks from
the root directory have 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 unless you
have chosen the folder mode as the
default display. See DISPL (display)
later in this section for more
information. The new track name
displays.
File System and Naming
The song name that displays is the
song name that is contained in the
ID3 tag. If the song name is not
present in the ID3 tag, then the
radio displays the file name without
the extension (such as .mp3) as the
track name.
Track names longer than
32 characters or four pages are
shortened. Parts of words on the
last page of text and the extension
of the filename does not display.
