MP3/WMA Format
If an MP3/WMA disc is burned on a personal
computer:
•
Make sure the MP3/WMA files are recorded
on a CD-R or CD-RW disc.
•
Do not mix standard audio and MP3/WMA
files on one disc.
•
Make sure the CD player (lower slot) is able
to read and play a maximum combination of
512 files and folders. The DVD player
(upper slot) is able to read 255 folders,
15 playlists and 40 sessions.
•
Create a folder structure that makes it easy to
find songs while driving. Organize songs by
albums using one folder for each album.
Each folder or album should contain 18 songs
or less.
•
Avoid subfolders. The system can support up to
eight subfolders deep, however, keep the total
number of folders to a minimum in order to
reduce the complexity and confusion in trying to
locate a particular folder during playback.
•
Make sure playlists have a .m3u, .wpl
or .pls extension as other file extensions
may not work.
•
Minimize the length of the file, folder or playlist
names. Long file, folder, or playlist names, or a
combination of a large number of files and
folders, or playlists can cause the player to be
unable to play up to the maximum number of
files, folders, playlists, or sessions. If you wish
to play a large number of files, folders, playlists,
or sessions, minimize the length of the file,
folder, or playlist name. Long names also take
up more space on the display, potentially
getting cut off.
•
Finalize the audio disc before burning it. Trying
to add music to an existing disc can cause the
disc not to function in the player.
Root Directory
The root directory of the CD-R or CD-RW is
treated as a folder. If the root directory has
compressed audio files, the directory is displayed
as F1 ROOT. All files contained directly under
the root directory are accessed prior to any root
directory folders. However, playlists (Px) are
always accessed before root folders or files.
