does not contain folders. Files accessed from the root
directory of a CD display as F1 ROOT.

Track names longer than 32 characters or four pages
are shortened. The display does not show parts of words
on the last page of text and the extension of the
filename is not displayed.

created using WinAmp™, MusicMatch™, or Real

no playlist editing capability using the radio. These
playlists are treated as special folders containing
compressed audio song files.
