Playing an MP3/WMA Disc
The CD changer can also play CD-Rs
and CD-RWs compressed in MP3
and WMA format. When playing a
disc in MP3 or WMA, you will see
‘‘MP3 ’’or ‘‘WMA’’ on the upper
display. A disc can support more
than 99 folders, and each folder can
hold up to 255 playable files.
When there are more than 99 folders
on a disc, the upper display only
shows two digits.
NOTE : If a file on an MP3 or WMA
disc is protected by digital rights
management (DRM), the audio unit
displays FORMAT, and then skips to
the next file. When playing a CD compressed in
MP3/WMA format, the audio control
display shows disc number, folder
name, file number, and elapsed time.
When playing a CD without this
information, the disc number, track
number, and the elapsed time are
shown on the audio control display.
If the disc has a complex structure, it
will take a while to read the disc
before the system begins to play it.
