• When there are many folders or non-MP3
files on the disc, it may take a long time for
play to begin or for the next MP3 file to start
play. Do not save unnecessary folders or files
other than MP3 ones in the disc to be used
for MP3 listening.
On the method of storing files on
discs
There are 3 utilities used to record data on a
disc.
1 DAO (Disc At Once) utility
All data to be written must be prepared in
advance and written onto a disc from the
beginning to the end in one operation. No
data can be added to a disc on which data
were already written with DAO utility.
2 TAO (Track At Once) utility
Data are written onto a disc track by track.
Data can be added to a disc on which data
were written with TAO utility.
3 Packet writing utility
Tracks are divided into smaller pieces
while being recorded, depending on the
size of available spaces on the disc. Data
can be added to a disc on which data were
written with packet writing utility.
This CD player can play MP3 files recorded
using DAO and TAO utilities. Files recorded
by packet writing utility cannot be played.

To play tracks in the order they were
recorded
1 Use a writing software capable of recording
MP3 files in numerical and alphabetical
order.
For details on using the software, refer to the
operating instructions supplied with the
software.
2 Use only one folder. Do not create a sub
folder within a folder.
3 Include a two-digit or three-digit number at
the beginning of each folder or file name so
that the folders and files are played in order.
<example of recommended names>
01xxxxxx.mp3
02xxxxxx.mp3
03xxxxxx.mp3
04xxxxxx.mp3
05xxxxxx.mp3
<example of names not recom-
mended>
1xxxxxxx.mp3
5xxxxxxx.mp3
10xxxxxx.mp3
15xxxxxx.mp3
20xxxxxx.mp3
In this case, the files are played in the order
of “1”, “10”, “15”, “20”, and “5.”
