is contained in the ID3 tag. If the song name is not
present in the ID3 tag, then the radio displays the file
name without the extension (such as .mp3) as the
track name.
Track names longer than 32 characters or four pages
are shortened. The display does not show parts of
words on the last page of text and the extension of
the filename is not displayed.

created using WinAmp™, MusicMatch™, or Real
Jukebox™software can be accessed, however,

stored on a USB device may be supported by the radio
with a USB port. Playlists can be changed by using the
S
c(previous)

been recorded without using file folders can be played.
