Using an MP3 CD
MP3 Format
If you burn your own MP3 disc on a personal computer:
Make sure the MP3 les are recorded on a
CD-R disc.
Do not mix standard audio and MP3 les on one disc.
Make sure playlists have a .m3u or .wpl extension,
other le extensions may not work.
Files can be recorded with a variety of xed or
variable bit rates. Song title, artist name, and album
will be available for display by the radio when
recorded using ID3 tags version 1 and 2.
Create a folder structure that makes it easy to nd
songs while driving. Organize songs by albums using
one folder for each album. Each folder or album
should contain 18 songs or less.
Make sure to nalize the disc when burning an MP3
disc, using multiple sessions. It is usually better to
burn the disc all at once.
The player will be able to read and play a maximum of
50 folders, 50 playlists, 10 sessions, and 255 les.
Long le names, folder names, or playlist names may
use more disc memory space than necessary. To
conserve space on the disc, minimize the length of the
le, folder or playlist names. You can also play an
MP3 CD that was recorded using no le folders. The
system can support up to 11 folders in depth, though,
keep the depth of the folders to a minimum in order
to keep down the complexity and confusion in trying to
locate a particular folder during playback.

Drunken Driving
Death and injury associated with drinking and driving is
a national tragedy. It is the number one contributor
to the highway death toll, claiming thousands of victims
every year.
Alcohol affects four things that anyone needs to drive
a vehicle:
Judgment
Muscular Coordination
Vision
Attentiveness
Police records show that almost half of all motor
vehicle-related deaths involve alcohol. In most cases,
these deaths are the result of someone who was
drinking and driving. In recent years, more than
16,000 annual motor vehicle-related deaths have been
associated with the use of alcohol, with more than
300,000 people injured.Many adults — by some estimates, nearly half the adult
population — choose never to drink alcohol, so they
never drive after drinking. For persons under 21,
it is against the law in every U.S. state to drink alcohol.
There are good medical, psychological, and
developmental reasons for these laws.
The obvious way to eliminate the leading highway
safety problem is for people never to drink alcohol and
then drive. But what if people do? How much is
“too much” if someone plans to drive? It is a lot less
than many might think. Although it depends on
each person and situation, here is some general
information on the problem.
The Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) of someone
who is drinking depends upon four things:
The amount of alcohol consumed
The drinker’s body weight
The amount of food that is consumed before and
during drinking
The length of time it has taken the drinker to
consume the alcohol
