Track and file names
When you create a disc with compressed
musi cfiles, you can assign names to the
tracks and folders.
COMAND uses these names accordingly for
the display. Folders that contain data other
than MP3 or WMA tracks are not displayed by
COMAND.
If MP3 or WMA files are stored in the root
directory itself, the root directory will also be
treated as a folder .COMAND will then show
the name of the root directory as the folder
name.
You should observe the following when
assigning track names:
R track names must have at least one
character.
R track names must have the extension
"mp3" or "wma".
R there must be a dot between the track
name and the extension.

and .m4b, but not copy-protected iTunes
music files with the extension .m4p.
i If, in addition to MP3 files, there are other
music files in these audio formats stored on
