2009 CADILLAC STS Owners Manual

Using an MP3
MP3 CD-R Disc
MP3 Format
The MP3 player will only play CD-R discs. It can read
and play a maximum of:
50 folders.
11 folders in depth
50 playlists
10 sessions
255 les
All folders, playlists, sessions and les over the
maximum are ignored.
When recording an MP3 disc, make sure that:
Playlists use an .m3u or .wpl extension.
Standard audio and compressed audio les are not
mixed on the same disc.
The disc is nalized when using multiple sessions.
File Naming
Song title, artist name, and album are available for
display by the radio when recorded using ID3 tags
version 1 and 2.
The song name that is displayed on the radio is the
song name that is contained in the ID3 tag. If the song
name is not present in the ID3 tag, the radio displays the
le name without the le extension 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 do not display.
Order of Play
Playlists are accessed before les or folders in the root
directory.
CD’s that have playlists play the tracks in the following
order:
1. After the rst track in the rst playlist ends, play
continues sequentially through all tracks in each
playlist.
2. After the last track of the last playlist ends, play
restarts from the rst track of the rst playlist.
3-111

CD’s that do not have playlists play the tracks in the
following order:
1. The rst le in the root directory plays.
2. After all les from the root directory have played,
les in the folders play.
3. After playing the last le from the last folder, play
restarts with the rst le in the root directory.
Preprogrammed Playlists
Preprogrammed playlists created by WinAmp™,
MusicMatch™, or Real Jukebox™ software can be
accessed, but not edited by the radio, and are treated
as special folders containing compressed audio
song les.
Root Directory
The root directory is treated as a folder and displays on
the radio as F1 ROOT. All compressed audio les in
the root directory are accessed before folders in the
root directory.
Empty Directory or Folder
Empty folders and directories do not display on the
radio and the system ignores them and advances to
the next directory or folder that has compressed audio
les in it.
No Folder
On a CD that only contains compressed audio les in
the root directory, the next and previous folder functions
do not work. The radio displays ROOT when displaying
the name of the folder.
On a CD that only contains playlists and compressed
audio les, the next and previous folder functions search
playlists rst and then search compressed audio les
in the root folder. The radio displays ROOT when
displaying the name of the folder.

Navigation/Radio System
For vehicles with a navigation radio system, see the
separate Navigation System manual.
Bluetooth®
For vehicles with a Navigation System and Bluetooth,
see the Navigation System manual for information about
how to use the Bluetooth system.
For vehicles without a Navigation System, the Bluetooth
system can use a Bluetooth capable cell phone with a
Hands Free Prole to make and receive phone calls.
The system can be used while the key is in ON/RUN or
ACC/ACCESSORY position. The range of the Bluetooth
system can be up to 30 ft. (9.1 m). Not all phones support
all functions, and not all phones are guaranteed to work
with the in-vehicle Bluetooth system. See gm.com/
bluetooth for more information on compatible phones.
Voice Recognition
The Bluetooth system uses voice recognition to interpret
voice commands to dial phone numbers and name tags.
Noise:Keep interior noise levels to a minimum.
The system may not recognize voice commands
if there is too much background noise.
When to Speak:A short tone sounds after the system
responds indicating when it is waiting for a voice
command. Wait until the tone and then speak.
How to Speak:Speak clearly in a calm and natural
voice.
Audio System
When using the in-vehicle Bluetooth system, sound
comes through the vehicle’s front audio system speakers
and over-rides the audio system. Use the audio system
volume knob, during a call, to change the volume level.
The adjusted volume level remains in memory for later
calls. To prevent missed calls, a minimum volume level
is used if the volume is turned down too low.
