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

and 255 les, the player lets you access and
navigate up to the maximum, but all items over
the maximum are not accessible.

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

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.

playlist and continues sequentially through
all tracks in each playlist. When the last track
of the last playlist has played, play continues
from the rst track of the rst playlist.

folder and continues sequentially through
all tracks in each folder. When the last track
of the last folder has played, play continues
from the rst track of the rst folder.
When play enters a new folder, the display does
not automatically show the new folder name unless
the folder mode was chosen as the default
display. The new track name displays.
File System and Naming

pages are shortened. Parts of words on the last
page of text and the extension of the lename does
