Using an MP3 (Radio with
CD Player)
MP3/WMA CD-R Disc
MP3 Format
If you burn your own MP3/WMA disc on a
personal computer:
•Make sure the MP3/WMA files are recorded
on a CD-R disc.
•Do not mix standard audio and MP3/WMA
files on one disc.
•Make sure each MP3/WMA file has a .m3u or
.wma extension, other file extensions might
not work.
•Files can be recorded with a variety of fixed or
variable bit rates. Song title, artist name, and
album are available for display by the radio
when recorded using ID3 tags version 1 and 2.
•Create a folder structure that makes it easy to
find 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 finalize the disc when burning
an MP3/WMA disc, using multiple sessions.
It is usually better to burn the disc all at once.
The player is able to read and play a maximum of
50 folders, five sessions, and 999 files. Long
file names and folder names can use more disc
memory space than necessary. To conserve space
on the disc, minimize the length of the file and
folder names. An MP3/WMA CD that was recorded
using no file folders can also be played. The
system can support up to eight 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, five sessions, and
999 files, the player lets you access and navigate
up to the maximum, but all items over the
maximum are ignored.
Root Directory
The root directory is treated as a folder. If the root
directory has compressed audio files, the
directory is displayed as ROOT. All files contained
directly under the root directory are accessed
prior to any other directory.
207

Empty Directory or Folder
If a root directory or a folder exists somewhere in
the file structure that contains only folders/
subfolders and no compressed files directly
beneath them, the player advances to the next
folder in the file structure that contains compressed
audio files. The empty folder does not display.
No Folder
When a CD contains only compressed files, the
files are located under the root folder. The
next and previous folder function does not function
on a CD that was recorded without folders or
playlists. When displaying the name of the folder
the radio displays ROOT.
When a CD contains only compressed audio files,
but no folders, all files are located under the
root folder. When the radio displays the name of
the folder, the radio displays ROOT.
Order of Play
Tracks are played in the following order:
•Playback begins from the first track under the
root directory.
•When all tracks from the root directory have
played, playback continues from files,
according to their numerical listing.
•After playing the last track from the last folder,
the player begins playing again at the first
track of the first folder or root directory.
File System and Naming
The song name in the ID3 tag is displayed. If the
song name is not present in the ID3 tag, then
the radio displays the file name without the
extension (such as MP3/WMA) instead.
Track names longer than 32 characters or four
pages are shortened. Parts of words on the
last page of text and the extension of the filename
does not display.
