Minimize the length of the le, folder or playlist
names. Long le, folder, or playlist names, or
a combination of a large number of les
and folders, or playlists can cause the player
to be unable to play up to the maximum
number of les, folders, playlists, or sessions.
If you wish to play a large number of les,
folders, playlists, or sessions, minimize
the length of the le, folder, or playlist name.
Long names also take up more space on
the display, potentially getting cut off.
Finalize the audio disc before you burn it.
Trying to add music to an existing disc
can cause the disc not to function in the
player.
Change playlists by using the previous and next
folder buttons, the tuner knob, or the seek buttons.
An MP3 CD-R that was recorded using no le
folders can also be played. If a CD-R contains
more than the maximum of 50 folders, 50 playlists,
and 255 les, the player lets you access and
navigate up to the maximum, but all items over
the maximum cannot be accessed.
Root Directory
The root directory of the CD-R is treated as a
folder. If the root directory has compressed audio
les, the directory displays as F1 ROOT. All
les contained directly under the root directory are
accessed prior to any root directory folders.
However, playlists (Px) are always 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 advances to the next
folder in the le structure that contains compressed
audio les. The empty folder does not display.

Preprogrammed Playlists
Preprogrammed playlists that were created using
WinAmp™, MusicMatch™, or Windows Media
Player™ software can be accessed, however, they
cannot be edited using the radio. These playlists
are treated as special folders containing
compressed audio song les. Playlists must have
a le extension of M3U or WPL.

and next folder buttons, the seek buttons, or
turning the tuner knob. Tracks cannot be changed.
Songs are played sequentially; press the REV
