folders or non-MP3 files on the disc, it may take a long time for
play to begin or for the next MP3 file to start to play.
We recommend that you do not save unnecessary folders or files
other than MP3 ones in the disc to be used for MP3 listening.
A folder that does not include an MP3 file is skipped.
