•MP3 folder mode represents a folderstructure consisting of one level offolders. The CD player numbers all MP3tracks on the disc (noted by the .mp3file extension) and all folderscontaining MP3 files, from F001(folder) T001 (track) to F253 T255.
•Creating discs with only one level offolders helps with navigation throughthe disc files.
If you are burning your own MP3 discs, it isimportant to understand how the systemreads the structures you create. Whilevarious files may be present, (files withextensions other than mp3), only files withthe .mp3 extension are played; other filesare ignored by the system. This enablesyou to use the same MP3 disc for a varietyof tasks on your work computer, homecomputer and your in-vehicle system.
In track mode, the system displays andplays the structure as if it were only onelevel deep (all .mp3 files play, regardlessof being in a specific folder). In foldermode, the system only plays the .mp3 filesin the current folder.
