tions take priority over user operations on this player. If a
function you selected does not run as desired, refer to the
manual accompanying the disc.

Data on an audio CD or a video CD is divided into sections
called “tracks,” each of which is given a track number.
[MP3, JPEG, WMA]
Data on a MP3 is divided into sections called "groups," and
then into subsections called "tracks," each of which is given an
