File structure
When creating a MP3 CD, you can organize
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 permissible
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.
Therefore a maximum of 1000 tracks will
be displayed by COMAND.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
folder and track names:
Track and folder names must contain
at least 1 character.
Track names may contain up to fifty
characters. If a name exceeds this
character limit, COMAND will not be
able to display it in full.
Track names must have the extension
“mp3”.
A period must appear between the
track name and the file extension.
Example of a correct track name:
Track1.mp3Empty folders or folders containing data
other than MP3 tracks will not be dis-
played by COMAND.
If MP3 or audio CD files are stored in the
root directory itself, the root directory also
counts as a folder. COMAND will then
display the root directory name as a folder
name.
i
COMAND does not support ID3tags.
