Multisession CDs
On multisession CDs, the content of the first
session determines how COMAND handles
the CD.
If the first session, for example, contains data
in CD Audio format and the second session
contains MP3 tracks, COMAND handles the
CD as a conventional Audio CD. This means
that the MP3 tracks cannot be accessed.
Similarly, if the first session contains MP3
tracks and the second session contains data
in CD Audio format, COMAND handles the CD
as an MP3 CD. Only the MP3 tracks can be
accessed.
File Structure of Storage Medium
When creating an MP3 storage medium, you
can organize MP3 tracks into folders. A folder
can also contain additional folders. A storage
medium may have a maximum of 255 folders
in total. A maximum of 255 tracks and 255
folders are permissible per folder. A
maximum of 4000 tracks in total are
permissible per storage medium.
Track Names and Folder Names
When creating an MP3 storage medium, you
can assign names to the MP3 tracks and to
the folders.
COMAND uses these names in MP3 mode for
the corresponding display. Empty folders or
folders containing data other than MP3 tracks
will not be displayed by COMAND.
If MP3 files are stored in the root directory
itself, the root directory also counts as a
folder. COMAND will then display the root
directory name as a folder name.
Please note the following when assigning
track names:
R Track names must contain at least one
character.
R Track names must have the extension
“mp3”.
R A period must appear between the track
name and the extension.
i COMAND does not support ID3 tags.
Permissible Formats
COMAND supports the following formats:
R MPEG1 audio layer 3 format
