Audio File Naming Convention and Requirements:
1) The unit can play all standard fixed bit rate mp3 audio formats and most standard variable bit rate mp3 formats.
The file names of all audio files can be a maximum of 256 characters. File names must end with “.mp3”.
2) The unit can play any one, of up to six audio files continuously by choosing Play Modes 1 through 6. These file
names must begin with the numbers 1 through 6 and are associated with Play Modes 1 through 6. Do not have
more than one audio file with the same beginning number. (i.e.: 1Jingle Bells.mp3, 2London Bridges.mp3, etc.)
If Play Mode 1 through 6 is chosen, but an audio file is not present whose name begins with the same number,
the unit will default to the first available audio file beginning with a 1 though 6. If these numbered files are not
present, the unit defaults to play mode 7. (play all messages)
3) The unit can play up to 1023 audio files in sequence. When all files have been played, the sequence will begin
again. Any audio file names that begin with the numbers 1 through 6, will play first in that order. All other files
names will play in the order that the file system reads them from the USB Flash Drive. Playing the Mode 7 (Play
All Messages) does not require a naming convention, other than the required “. mp3” file extension.
