MP3 operation
Permissible MP3 CDs
In MP3 mode COMAND can read CD-R and
CD-RW CDs.
Permissible file systems
The permitted file system is
ISO9660/Joliet for CD-R and CD-RW.Multi session discs
With multi session discs, the content of the
first session determines how COMAND
treats the CD.
For example, if the first session contains
data in audio CD format and the second
session contains data in MP3 format,
COMAND will treat the CD as a conven-
tional audio CD.
File structure
When creating an MP3 CD, you can orga-
nize MP3 tracks into folders. A folder can
also contain additional folders.
A CD may have a maximum of 255 folders
in total. A maximum of 255 tracks are per-
missible per folder.Mathematically a maximum of 65025
tracks would result. However, this amount
is usually not reached since MP3 requires
approx. 1 MB storage per minute recorded.
Track names and folder names
When creating an MP3 CD, you can assign
names to the MP3 tracks and folders.
COMAND uses these names in MP3-mode
for the corresponding display.
Please note the following when assigning
track and folder names:
Track and folder names must contain
at least 1 character.
Track names may contain up to fifty
characters. If a track name exceeds
this character limit, COMAND will not
be able to display it in full.
Tips on creating MP3 CDs
i
CDs, software and hardware for writing
audio data to CDs are widely available.
Therefore, we cannot guarantee that
COMAND will be able to play every
user-written CD.
Problems may be encountered during
playback of user-written CDs with a
storage capacity of more than 700 MB.
These CDs do not meet valid standards
as of this printing.

which can hold up to six CDs.

ment buttons 2 for controlling the loading

!
Do not attach labels of any type to the
CD. They may become detached and
damage the drive.
Only use CDs, which bear the label
shown and that conform to the com-
pact disc digital audio standard
(IEC 60908).
Do not play single-CDs (80 mm) with an
adapter. Only use round, 12 cm diame-
ter CDs.
!
Your CD changer has been designed to
play CDs which correspond to the IEC
60908 standard. Therefore only CDs
not exceeding a thickness of 1.3 mm
can be used.
If you insert thicker data carriers, e.g.
ones that have data on both sides (one
side with DVD data, the other side with
audio data), they cannot be ejected
and will damage the CD changer.

The CD changer may not be able to play
audio CDs with copy protection.
