No Folder
When the CD contains only compressed les, the les
are located under the root folder. The next and previous
folder functions do not function on a CD that was
recorded without folders or playlists. When displaying
the name of the folder the radio displays ROOT.
When the CD 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.
Order of Play
Tracks are played in the following order:
If CD audio tracks are available they will be played
rst, otherwise 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.
If the CD does not contain any playlists, then play
begins from the rst track under the root directory.
When all tracks from the root directory have played,
play continues from les according to their numerical
listing. After playing the last track from the last folder,
play begins again at the rst track of the rst folder or
root directory.When play enters a new folder, the display does not
automatically show the new folder name unless the
folder mode has been chosen as the default display.
See DISPL (display) later in this section for more
information. 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 le name 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
