Audio and Media Mode
The unit may be unable to read individual
tr ac
k
s or the entire data medium due to the
data medium configuration or the devices
and programs used for recording. Informa-
tion about the best ways to create audio files
and data media (compression rate, ID3 tag
etc.) can be found on the Internet.
The reading time may vary considerably de-
pending on the condition of the data medium
(copying and deleting actions), folder struc-
ture and file type.
Playlists only determine a certain playing or-
der. 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).
A cover can only be displayed when the name
starts with “Cover”, “Folder” or “Album”. Note
