Using an MP3 CD
MP3 Format
This MP3 player will accept MP3 les that were recorded
on an up to 700 MB CD-R CD. The les can be
recorded with the following xed bit rates: 32 kbps,
40 kbps, 56 kbps, 64 kbps, 80 kbps, 96 kbps, 112 kbps,
128 kbps, 160 kbps, 192 kbps, 224 kbps, 256 kbps,
and 320 kbps or a variable bit rate. Song title, artist
name, and album will be available when recorded using
ID3 tags versions 1 and 2.
The player will be able to read and play a maximum of
50 folders, 50 playlists, 10 sessions, and 255 les.
Long le, folder, or playlist names or a combination of a
large number of les and folders or playlists may
cause the player to be unable to play up to the
maximum number of les, folders, playlists, or sessions.
If you wish to play large numbers of les, folders,
playlists or sessions minimize the length of the le,
folder or playlist name. You can also play an MP3 CDthat was recorded using no le folders. The system can
support up to 11 folders in depth, though, keep the
depth of the folders to a minimum in order to keep down
the complexity and confusion in trying to locate a
particular folder during playback. If a CD contains more
than the maximum of 50 folders, 50 playlists,
10 sessions, and 255 les the player will let you access
and navigate up to the maximum, but all items over
the maximum will be ignored.
Root Directory
The root directory will be treated as a folder. If the root
directory has compressed audio les, the directory
will be displayed as F1 ROOT. All les contained directly
under the root directory will be accessed prior to any
root directory folders. However, playlists (Px) will always
be accessed before root folders or les.
Empty Directory or Folder
If a root directory or a folder exists somewhere in the
le structure that contains only folders/subfolders and no
compressed les directly beneath them, the player will
advance to the next folder in the le structure that
contains compressed audio les and the empty folder
will not be displayed or numbered.
