mode (default) and MP3 directory mode.
²MP3 flat file mode ignores any directory structure present on the MP3
disc. The player sequentially numbers each MP3 track on the disc
(denoted by the .mp3 file extension) from T001 to T255.
²MP3 directory mode represents a directory structure consisting of one
level of directories (folders). The CD player sequentially numbers all
MP3 tracks on the disc (denoted by .mp3 extension) and all
directories containing MP3 files, from 01±01 to 99±99. The first two
digits denote the directory number and the last two digits denote the
track number within that directory.
²Creating discs with only one level of subdirectories will help with
navigation through the disc files.
