contain both uncompressed CD
audio and MP3 files. If both
formats are on the disc, the radio
reads all MP3 files first, then the
uncompressed CD audio files.
CD‐R‐
or CD‐RW‐Supported File

The radio supports:
.Up to 50 folders.
.Up to eight folders in depth.
.Up to 50 playlists.

.Playlists with an .m3u or .wpl
extension.

File System and Naming
The song name that displays is the
song name 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. The display does not
show parts of words on the last
page of text, and the extension of
the file name is not displayed.
Preprogrammed Playlists
CDs that have preprogrammed
playlists created using WinAmp™,
MusicMatch™, or Real Jukebox™
software can be accessed; however,
there is no playlist‐editing capability
using the radio. These playlists are
treated as special folders containing
compressed audio song files.
Playlists that have an .m3u or .pls
file extension and are stored on a
USB device may be supported by
the radio with a USB port.
Playlists can be changed by using
the softkeys below the
S
cand
c Ttabs, thefknob, the©SEEK
button, or the
¨SEEK button. An
MP3 CD-R or CD-RW that has been recorded without using file folders
can be played. If a CD-R or CD-RW
contains more than the maximum
of 50 folders, 15 playlists, and
512 folders and files, the player
allows access and navigates up to
the maximum, but all items over the
maximum are not accessible.
