7.2 Directory use:
Some directory names are reserved names for the system and must not be used. You can manually
create these directories or use a small utility software.
Note :
Don't place any file at the root of the HDD. The file will be ignored and can cause errors.
Reserved directory :
IN
: The “IN” directory contents specific files : the MP3 files triggered by the infrared remote control and
files launched from optional inputs/outputs module.
Note : You will place in the "IN" directory all files called by the remote control. Name are "Txxx.mp3"
xxx = number from 001 and 009 for 9 direct key.
T001.mp3 = "Key 1"
T002.mp3 = "Key 2"
T003.mp3 = "Key 3" and so on up to key 9
Note : Key "0" is not used
Warning: all imposed names must be written in upper case (capital) letters.
It is recommended to delete any unused or empty directory.
For the other directories, you may use any desired name.
We suggest you to very strictly organize your hard disk in order to quickly find
your titles. You can create directories per musical genre, artist name, year,
broadcasting date or any other personal organization.
Sub-directories :
It is possible to use sub-directories to organize the music files but they will
only be read by the file transfer software. The sub-directory names will not
be displayed on the LCD of the player and they will be "transparent" : you will
be able to navigate amongst the music files as if sub-directories did not exist.
The use of sub-directories is highly recommanded for directories which include
more than 1000 files in order to reduce the searching delay between tracks.
Note : If you decide to use sub-directories, you must place all the files in sub-directories.
Never place both files and sub-directories at the same level. In any one directory, place only
files or only sub-directories, not both.
Note : if any one directory includes over 1000 files, there will be a delay in between tracks (searching
time) ; to avoid this delay, we recommand to create sub-directories.
Tip: It is possible to create a unique directory, “SONG” containing thousands of titles and let the player
randomly broadcast the program.
