File System and Naming
The song name that displays is the song name that
is contained in the ID3 tag. If the song name is not
present in the ID3 tag, then the radio displays the
le name without the extension (such as .mp3) as
the track name.
Track names longer than 32 characters or
four pages are shortened. Parts of words on the
last page of text and the extension of the lename
does not display.
Preprogrammed Playlists
Preprogrammed playlists that were created using
WinAmp™, MusicMatch™, or Real Jukebox™
software, can be accessed, however, they cannot
be edited using the radio. These playlists are
treated as special folders containing compressed
audio song les.
Playing an MP3
Insert a CD-R partway into the slot (Single CD
Player), or press the load button and wait for the
message to insert disc (Six-Disc CD Player),
label side up. The player pulls it in, and the CD-R
should begin playing.
If the ignition or radio is turned off with a CD-R in
the player, it stays in the player. When the
ignition or radio is turned on, the CD-R starts to
play where it stopped, if it was the last selected
audio source.
As each new track starts to play, the track number
and song title displays.
The CD player can play the smaller 3 inch (8 cm)
single CD-Rs with an adapter ring. Full-size
CD-Rs and the smaller CD-Rs are loaded in the
same manner.

Once the disc has been scanned, the player
defaults to playing MP3 les in order by artist. The
current artist playing is shown on the second line of

artist in alphabetical order on the CD-R and begins
playing MP3 les by that artist. If you want to listen
to MP3 les by another artist, press the pushbutton
located below either arrow button. The CD goes to
the next or previous artist in alphabetical order.

pushbutton below the back label to return to the
main music navigator screen. The album name
displays on the second line between the arrows and
songs from the current album and begins to play.
Once all songs from that album are played, the
player moves to the next album in alphabetical
order on the CD-R and begins playing MP3 les
from that album.To exit music navigator mode, press the pushbutton
below the Back label to return to normal MP3
playback.
