Compressed Audio
The radio also plays discs that
contain both uncompressed CD
audio (.CDA les) and MP3/WMA
les. The radio plays both le formats
in the order in which they were
recorded to the disc.
MP3/WMA Format
Creating 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 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 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.
Change playlists by using
Scand
cTfolder buttons, thefknob, 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.
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.Playing an MP3/WMA

setting, MP3/WMA les on the
CD-R or CD-RW can be listened to
in random, rather than sequential
order.

It could take several minutes to scan
the disc depending on the numberof MP3/WMA les recorded to the
CD-R or CD-RW disc. The radio can
begin playing while 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 that artist
are played, the player moves to the
next artist in alphabetical order on
the CD-R or CD-RW and begins
playing MP3/WMA les by that artist.
To listen to MP3/WMA les by
another artist, press the pushbutton
located below either arrow button.
The player goes to the next or
previous artist in alphabetical order.
Continue pressing either button until
the desired artist is displayed.To change from playback by artist
to playback by album, press the
pushbutton located below the Sort
By label. From the sort screen, push
one of the buttons below the album
button. Press the pushbutton below

album are played, the player moves
to the next album in alphabetical
order on the CD-R or CD-RW and
begins playing MP3/WMA les from
that album.
To exit music navigator mode, press
the pushbutton below the Back label
