playback: MP3 flat file mode (default) and MP3
directory mode.

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.

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
