2009 CHEVROLET UPLANDER radio

Files can be recorded with a variety of xed 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 nd
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 nalize the disc when burning an MP3
disc, using multiple sessions. It is usually better to
burn the disc all at once.
Do not use CD-RW discs.
Do not use colored discs.
The player is able to read and play a maximum of
50 folders, 50 playlists, 10 sessions, and 255 les. Long
le names, folder names, or playlist names could use
more disc memory space than necessary. To conserve
space on the disc, minimize the length of the le, folder,
or playlist names. You can also play an MP3 CD that was
recorded using no le folders. The system can support up
to 11 folders in depth, though, keep the depth of the
folders to a minimum in order to keep down the
complexity and confusion in trying to locate a particular
folder during playback. If a CD contains more than the
maximum of 50 folders, 50 playlists, 10 sessions, and
255 les the player lets you access and navigate up to
the maximum, but all items over the maximum are
ignored.
Root Directory
The root directory 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 contains only compressed les, the les
will be 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 go 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:
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 was chosen as the default display. See
the information button 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 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.
Playing an MP3

or press the load button and wait for the message to
