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.
Playing an MP3/WMA
While the ignition is on, insert a CD partway into the
slot, label side up. The player pulls it in, Loading, then
Filecheck, and then MP3 or WMA displays. The CD
should begin playing. A CD plays only while the ignition
is on or ACC (Accessory).
As each new track starts to play, the track number,
and the song name displays.
If the ignition or radio is turned off with a CD in the
player, it stays in the player. When a CD is in the player
and the ignition is turned on, the radio must be turned
on before the CD starts playback. When the ignition
and radio are turned on, the CD starts playing where
it stopped, if it was the last selected audio source.
The CD player can play the smaller 3 inch (8 cm) single
CDs with an adapter ring. Full-size CDs and the
smaller CDs are loaded in the same manner.
3-73

If playing a CD-R, the sound quality can be reduced due
to CD-R quality, the method of recording, the quality of
the music that has been recorded, and the way the CD-R
has been handled. There can be an increase in skipping,
difficulty in finding tracks, and/or difficulty in loading and
ejecting. If these problems occur, check the bottom
surface of the CD. If the surface of the CD is damaged,
such as cracked, broken, or scratched, the CD does not
play properly. If the surface of the CD is soiled, seeCare
of Your CDs on page 3-79for more information.
If there is no apparent damage, try a known good CD.
Do not add any label to a CD, it could get caught in the
CD player. If a CD is recorded on a personal computer
and a description label is needed, try labeling the top
of the recorded CD with a marking pen.
Notice:If a label is added to a CD, or more than
one CD is inserted into the slot at a time, or an
attempt is made to play scratched or damaged CDs,
the CD player could be damaged. While using the
CD player, use only CDs in good condition without
any label, load one CD at a time, and keep the
CD player and the loading slot free of foreign
materials, liquids, and debris.
If an error displays, see “CD Messages” later in this
section.

Using an MP3 (Radio with
Six-Disc 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 might 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 difficulty
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 is 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.
3-75

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
