Due to the larger quantity of data, the unit takes longer to read a data medi-
um containing compressed audio files (MP3) than a “normal” audio CD.
Complex folder structures can also slow down the reading of a data medi-
um.
Playlists only determine a certain playing order. There are no files stored in
a playlist. The unit will not play a playlist if the files are not stored on the
data medium at the locations referred to by the playlist (relative file paths).
Playing order of files and folders
Fig. 15 Example of an
MP3 CD structure.
Audio files on data media are often sorted by folders and playlists to
determine a certain playing order.
Tracks, folders and playlists on a data medium are sorted by name in alpha-
betic or numeric order. Subfolders are treated like folders and numbered in accordance with the se-
quence on the CD.
The illustration ⇒ Fig. 15 shows a typical MP3 CD that contains tracks
,
folders and subfolders.
Accordingly, the tracks and folders on this CD are played and displayed in
the following order: Tracks 1
and 2 in the root directory
(ROOT) of the CD
Tracks 3 and 4 in the first folder F1 in the root directory of the CD
(display: 01).
Track 5
in the first subfolder F1.1 of the folder
F1 (display: 02).
Track 6 in the first subfolder F1.1.1 of the subfolder
F1.1 (display:
03).
Track 7
in the second subfolder F1.2 of the folder
F1 (display: 04).
Tracks 8 and 9 in the second folder F2 (display:
05).
With regard to the playing order, playlists are treated like folders.
Note
The playing order will change when modifying the play mode ( MIX)
