A data medium may contain a maximum of
500 tracks.
The directory depth may not exceed a
maximum of 8 levels. The system will ignore
files in lower levels.
Track and folder names
When
you create an MP3/WMA disc, you can
assign names to the MP3/WMA tracks and
folders.
The audio system uses these names for the
corresponding display in MP3 mode. Empty
folders or folders which contain data other
than MP3/WMA tracks are not displayed by
the audio system.
If MP3/WMA files are saved in the root
directory itself (uppermost directory on
storage medium), the root directory will also
be treated as a folder. The audio system will
then show the name of the root directory as
the folder name.
You must 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 period between the track
name and the extension.
Example of a correct track name:
Track1.mp3
The audio system is unable to recognize an
MP3/WMA track if
R there is no period between the track title
and the extension
R there is no extension

if you have the surround sound function
activated.

data compression technology developed by
Microsoft ®
