2009 BUICK ENCLAVE Owner's Manual

The CD player is able to read
and play a maximum of
50 folders, 15 playlists, and a
combined total of 512 folders
and les.
Create a folder structure that
makes it easy to nd songs while
driving. Organize songs by
albums using one folder for each
album. Each folder or album
should contain 18 songs or less.
Avoid subfolders. The system can
support up to eight subfolders
deep, however, keep the total
number of folders to a minimum in
order to reduce the complexity
and confusion in trying to locate a
particular folder during playback.
Make sure playlists have a .mp3
or .wpl extension (other le
extensions might not work).
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 could
cause the player to be unable toplay up to the maximum number
of les, folders, playlists, or
sessions. 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
burning it. Trying to add music to
an existing disc could cause the
disc not to function in the player.
Change playlists by using
Sc
andcTfolder buttons, the
fknob, or the SEEK arrows. An
MP3/WMA CD-R or CD-RW
that was recorded using no le
folders can be played. If a CD-R or
CD-RW contains more than the
maximum of 50 folders, 15 playlists,
and a combined total of 512 folders
and les, the player accesses
and navigates up to the maximum,
but all items over the maximum
are not accessible.Root Directory
The root directory of the CD-R or
CD-RW is treated as a folder. If the
root directory has compressed
audio les, the directory displays as
the CD label. 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.
If a disc contains both
uncompressed CD audio (.CDA)
and MP3/WMA les, a folder under
the root directory called CD
accesses all of the CD audio tracks
on the disc.
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.
Instrument Panel 3-83

No Folder
When the CD-R or CD-RW disc
contains only compressed les, the
les are located under the root
folder. The next and previous folder
function does not display on a
CD-R or CD-RW disc that was
recorded without folders or playlists.
When the CD-R or CD-RW disc
contains only playlists and
compressed audio les, but no
folders, all les are located under
the root folder. The folder down and
up buttons search playlists (Px)
rst and then goes to the root folder.
Order of Play
Tracks recorded to the CD-R or
CD-RW disc are played in the
following order:
Play begins from the rst track in
the rst 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.
Play begins from the rst track in
the rst 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 is chosen as
the default display. The new track
name displays.
File System and Naming
The song name that displays is the
song name that is contained in
the ID3 tag. If the song name is not
present in the ID3 tag, then the
radio displays the le name without
the extension (such as .mp3) as
the track name.
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 lename does not display.Preprogrammed Playlists
Preprogrammed playlists that were
created using WinAmp™,
MusicMatch™, or Real Jukebox™
software can be accessed, however,
they cannot be edited using the
radio. These playlists are treated as
special folders containing
compressed audio song les.

disc. The radio can begin playingwhile it is scanning the disc in the
background. When the scan is
nished, the CD-R or CD-RW begins
playing again.
Once the disc has scanned, the
player defaults to playing MP3/WMA
les in order by artist. The current
artist playing is shown on the
second line of the display between
the arrows. Once all songs by

playback.Using an MP3 (Radio
with CD and DVD Player)
MP3/WMA CD-R or
CD-RW Disc
Compressed Audio or Mixed
Mode Discs
The radio also plays discs that
contain both uncompressed
CD audio (.CDA les) and
MP3/WMA les depending on which
slot the disc is loaded into. By
default the radio reads only
the uncompressed audio (.CDA)
and ignores the MP3/WMA les on
the DVD deck. On the CD deck,
pressing the CAT (category) button
toggles between compressed
and uncompressed audio format,
the default being the uncompressed
format (.CDA).MP3/WMA Format
To create an MP3/WMA disc on a
personal computer:
Make sure the MP3/WMA les
are recorded on a CD-R or
CD-RW disc.
Do not mix standard audio and
MP3/WMA les on one disc.
The CD player (lower slot) is
able to read and play a
maximum combination of
512 les and folders. The DVD
player (upper slot) is able to read
255 folders, 15 playlists and
40 sessions.
Create a folder structure that
makes it easy to nd songs while
driving. Organize songs by
albums using one folder for each
album. Each folder or album
should contain 18 songs or less.
Avoid subfolders. The system can
support up to eight subfolders
deep, however, keep the total
number of folders to a minimum in
3-86 Instrument Panel

order to reduce the complexity
and confusion in trying to locate a
particular folder during playback.
Make sure playlists have
a .m3u, .wpl or .pls extension
as other le extensions might
not work.
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 could
cause the player to be unable to
play up to the maximum number
of les, folders, playlists, or
sessions. 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
burning it. Trying to add music to
an existing disc could cause the
disc not to function in the player.Root Directory
The root directory of the CD-R or
CD-RW disc is treated as a folder. If
the root directory has compressed
audio les, the directory is displayed
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.No Folder
When the CD-R or CD-RW disc
contains only compressed les, the
les are located under the root
folder. The next and previous folder
function does not function on a
CD-R or CD-RW that was recorded
without folders or playlists. When
displaying the name of the folder the
radio displays ROOT.
When the CD-R or CD-RW disc
contains only playlists and
compressed audio les, but no
folders, all les are located under
the root folder. The folder down and
the folder up buttons search
playlists (Px) rst and then goes to
the root folder. When the radio
displays the name of the folder the
radio displays ROOT.
