2007 CADILLAC ESCALADE ESV audio

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. If a CD contains more than the
maximum of 50 folders, 50 playlists, 10 sessions,
and 255 les the player will let you access and
navigate up to the maximum, but all items over the
maximum will be ignored.
Root Directory
The root directory will be treated as a folder. If the
root directory has compressed audio les, the
directory will be displayed as F1 ROOT. All les
contained directly under the root directory will
be accessed prior to any root directory folders.
However, playlists (Px) will always be accessed
before root folders or les.
Empty Directory or Folder
If a root directory or a folder exists somewhere
in the le structure that contains only
folders/subfolders and no compressed les directly
beneath them, the player will advance to the
next folder in the le structure that contains
compressed audio les and the empty folder will
not be displayed or numbered.
No Folder
When the CD contains only compressed les, the
les will be located under the root folder. The
next and previous folder functions will have
no function on a CD that was recorded without
folders or playlists. When displaying the name of
the folder the radio will display ROOT.
When the CD contains only playlists and
compressed audio les, but no folders, all les
will be located under the root folder. The
folder down and the folder up buttons will search
playlists (Px) rst and then go to the root
folder. When the radio displays the name of the
folder the radio will display ROOT.

Order of Play
Tracks will be played in the following order:
Play will begin from the rst track in the rst
playlist and will continue sequentially through
all tracks in each playlist. When the last
track of the last playlist has been played, play
will continue from the rst track of the rst
playlist.
If the CD does not contain any playlists, and
then play will begin from the rst track under
the root directory. When all tracks from
the root directory have been played, play
will continue from les according to their
numerical listing. After playing the last track
from the last folder, play will begin again at the
rst track of the rst folder or root directory.
When play enters a new folder, the display will not
automatically show the new folder name. The
new track name will appear on the display.
File System and Naming
The song name that will be displayed will be the
song name that is contained in the ID3 tag. If
the song name is not present in the ID3 tag, and
then the radio will display the le name without
the extension (such as .mp3) as the track name.
Track names longer than 32 characters or
four pages will be shortened. The display will not
show parts of words on the last page of text
and the extension of the lename will not be
displayed.
Preprogrammed Playlists
You can access preprogrammed playlists which
were created by WinAmp™, MusicMatch™,
or Real Jukebox™ software, however, you will not
have editing capability. These playlists will be
treated as special folders containing compressed
audio song les.
