MP3 operation
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 a MP3 CD, you can organize
MP3 tracks into folders. A folder can also
contain additional folders.
The root directory may have a maximum of
255 entries in total. (folders or tracks)
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
folder and track names:
Per folder a maximum of 1800 charac-
ters are available for title and folder
names combined.
Exceeding this number, COMAND can-
not display all titles and folders.
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.mp3
In the example, the track name con-
tains six characters, followed by a peri-
od and the file extension “mp3”.
Empty folders or folders containing data
other than MP3 tracks will not be dis-
played by COMAND.

which can hold up to six CDs.
The CD changer has six magazine compart-
ment buttons 2 for controlling the loading
procedure. LEDs in the buttons indicate the status of
the corresponding magazine compart-
ment.

!
Your CD drive 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 will become stuck and
damage the drive.
Data carriers which contain data on
both sides can cause play-back prob-
lems because the storage layers are
thinner than one-sided data carriers.
Do not play single CDs (80mm) with an
adapter. An adapter could become
stuck and damage the drive. Only use
12 cm diameter CDs.
i
The CD changer may not be able to play
audio CDs with copy protection.
