MP3 FUNCTIONS
Your audio system is equipped with MP3 capability which allows you to
listen to songs in MP3 flat file mode and MP3 directory mode.
To engage MP3 flat file mode, insert an MP3 disc. If an MP3 disc is
already present in the player, press the CD control. The MP3 icon will
display while the player is in MP3 mode.
While in MP3 flat file mode, press
the MP3 DIR control to enter into
MP3 directory mode. The MP3 icon
and the DIR icon will display while
the player is in directory mode.
Your MACHtMP3 player is also equipped with an anti-shock buffer for
MP3 discs.
MP3 FILE DIRECTORY STRUCTURE
The MACHtMP3 music system recognizes MP3 disc file and directory
(folder) structure as follows:
²There are two different modes for MP3 disc playback: MP3 flat file
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.

ERROR MESSAGES
You may experience an error message for the following situations:
²NO DISC when the CD control is pressed and there is not a CD
present.
²DISC ERR when there is a damaged or unreadable disc. Such as, data
discs containing no .mp3 files, or for data discs containing more than
255 files or directories.
²CD ERR for any other disc malfunction.
SAMPLE HIERARCHIES
If you are burning your own MP3
discs, it is important to understand
how the MACHtMP3 music system
will read the hierarchies you create.
This is an example of creating a
directory structure that is one level
deep with various types of music.
While various files are present, (files
with extensions other than mp3),
only files with the .mp3 extension
will be played. Other files will be
ignored by the system. This enables
you to use the same MP3 disc for a
variety of tasks on your work
computer, home computer and your
MACHtMP3 music system.
Entertainment Systems
31
Page 32 of 245

This hierarchy is an example of a
more complex directory structure.
While you are capable of setting up
many directory levels when burning
a CD, the MACHtMP3 music
system will display the structure as
if it were only one level deep.
Therefore, the system will condense
the complex hierarchy into a
structure similar to the
one-level-deep example above. This
will not harm the MP3 disc and will
not change the hierarchy that is
actually written on the disc. Only
mp3 files will be played, files with
other extensions will be skipped.
In this example, (xx) = directory, (xx-xx) = directory -track, and (Txxx)
= flat file track.
SAVING AND NAMING MP3 FILES
²Your MACHtMP3 music system supports discs containing up to 255
files in 255 directories. Discs containing more than 255 files will not
play.
²Always save MP3 files with the .mp3 extension. The player recognizes
an MP3 file by the .mp3 extension, so MP3 files saved with different
extensions will not be played.Never save a non-MP3 file with the
.mp3 extension as the file will not play properly and damage
may occur to the player or your sound system.
²The player supports multi session discs. However, be sure to import
the previous session of the disc before you add new files. If you do not
import the previous session, only the last session will be played.
²When burning a disc, ensure that you close/finalize the disc before
playback, or the disc may not play properly or an error message may
appear.
²The player supports DAM (Digital Automatic Music) discs.Disc [01]**coolsong.mp3 (01-01) {T001}rocksong.mp3 (01-02) {T002}Rock [02]specialsong.mp3 (02-01) {T003}Classics
