Playing music files with the radio
Fig. 38 Example of a
music folder

USB* Connection 46
As many as 99 tracks can be shown, although all those contained in the
folder can be played
A title with three figures will not show the hundreds on the screen, only the
last two.
The music can be controlled via the radio keys. Choosing and playing songs,
fast forward and rewind and random playback are described in the radio
manual of your vehicle.
If there are folders in the root directory individual files will not be played, so
all data in the root directory should be in folders.
Storing files in a memory stick or MP3 player
Store files in folders instead of using the root directory of the memory stick or
player. In this way the songs can be stored in order (eg all the songs in a
certain style in the same folder).
The function keys to of the radio can only select the first 5 folders.
If there are more than 6 folders in the memory stick or MP3 player their
content cannot be played.
The folders can be subdivided into subfolders eg different albums by an
artist.
Example of a music folder structure:
Playback of music via USB connection
Connect the memory stick or MP3 player with the USB extension cable to the
USB port.
The screen will show the first 6 folders detected by the USB port, displayed as
CD 1 to CD 6. Folders without music files will not be included.
If there are more than 6 music folders in the device, the exact number of
folders can be shown using the CD options.If the music files are not classified into folders, but stored directly in the root
directory, the radio will read the files and play them in the same order. The
display then shows CD 1.
Music files and folders will be played in alphabetical order, so files begin-
niing woth numbers will be selected first, before those with letters. A file with
the name 1XXXXXXXX will be played before another with the name AAAAAA.
Screen indications
When selecting a music file with the CD keys, it appears iin the radio equip-
ment screen Track 1.
As many as 99 tracks can be shown.
WARNING
