Audio mode
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
⇒

,
folders
and subfolders.
Accordingly, the tracks and folders on this CD are played and displayed in
the following order:
