file and directory (folder) structure as follows:
•There are two different modes for MP3 disc
playback: MP3 flat file mode (default) and MP3
directory mode.
•MP3 flat file mode ignores any directory structure
present on the MP3 disc. The player sequentially

numbers each MP3 track on the disc (denoted by
the .mp3 file extension) from T001 to T255.
•MP3 directory mode represents a directory
structure consisting of one level of directories
(folders). The CD player sequentially numbers all
MP3 tracks on the disc (denoted by .mp3
extension) and all directories containing MP3
files, from 01–01 to 99–99. The first two digits
denote the directory number and the last two
digits denote the track number within that

•Your MACHMP3 music system supports discs
containing up to 255 files in 255 directories. Discs
containing more than 255 files will not play.
•Always save MP3 files with the .mp3 extension.

extensions will not be played.Never save a
non-MP3 file with the .mp3 extension as the
file will not play properly and damage may
occur to the player or your sound system.
•The player supports multi session discs. However,
be sure to import the previous session of the disc
before you add new files. If you do not import the
previous session, only the last session will be
played.

close/finalize the disc before playback, or the disc
may not play properly or an error message may
appear.
