Using an MP3 CD
MP3 Format
There are guidelines that must be met, when creating
an MP3 disc. If the guidelines are not met when
recording a CD-R(W), the CD may not play.
The guidelines are:
.Sampling rate: 16 kHz, 22.05 kHz, 24 kHz, 32 kHz,
and 44.1 kHz.
.Bit rates supported: 32, 40, 48, 56, 64, 80, 96, 112,
128, 160, 192, 224, 256, and 320 kbps.
.ID3 tag information is displayed by the radio if it is
available. The radio supports ID3 tag information
v1.0, v1.1, or v2.0. The radio will display a
filename, song name, artist name, album name,
and directory name.
.Maximum 32 characters, including spaces, in a file
or folder name.
.Maximum number of folders is 100 with a
maximum hierarchy of eight folders.
.Create a folder structure that makes it easy to find
songs while driving. Organize songs by albums
using one folder for each album. Each folder or
album should contain 18 songs or less.
5-70

.It is recommended that there is a maximum of
192 files on a disc.
.The files can be recorded on a CD-R or CD-RW
with a maximum capacity of 700MB.
.DVD with MP3 are not playable on this system.
Root Directory
The root directory will be treated as a folder. If the root
directory has compressed audio files, the directory will
be displayed as No Folder or ALL.
Empty Directory or Folder
If a root directory or a folder exists somewhere in the
file structure that contains only folders/subfolders and
no compressed files directly beneath them, the player
will advance to the next folder in the file structure that
contains compressed audio files and the empty folder
will not be displayed or numbered.
No Folder
When the CD contains only compressed files, the files
will be located under the root folder. The next and
previous folder functions will have no function on a CD
that was recorded without folders or playlists. When
displaying the name of the folder the radio will display
No Folder.
Order of Play
Play will begin from the first track under the root
directory. When all tracks from the root directory have
been played, play will continue from files according to
their numerical listing. After playing the last track from
the last folder, play will begin again at the first track of
the first folder or root directory.
When play enters a new folder, the display will not
automatically show the new folder name. The new track
name will appear on the display.
File System and Naming
The song name that will display will be the song name
that is contained in the ID3 tag. If the song name is not
present in the ID3 tag, then the radio will display the
file name without the extension (such as .mp3) as the
track name.
Track names longer than 32 characters or four pages
will be shortened. The display will not show parts of
words on the last page of text and the extension of the
filename will not display.
