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 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 file name is not displayed.
Preprogrammed Playlists
CDs that have preprogrammed
playlists reated using WinAmp™,
MusicMatch™, or Real Jukebox™
software can be accessed; however,
there is no playlist‐editing capability
using the radio. These playlists are
treated as special folders containing
compressed audio song files.Playlists that have an .m3u or .pls
file extension and are stored on a
USB device may be supported by
the radio with a USB port.
Playlists can be changed by using
the softkeys below the
S
cand
c Ttabs, thefknob, the©SEEK button, or the¨SEEK
button. An MP3 CD-R or CD-RW
that has been recorded without
using file folders can be played. If a
CD-R or CD-RW contains more than
the maximum of 50 folders,
15 playlists, and 512 folders and
files, the player allows access and
navigates up to the maximum, but
all items over the maximum are not
accessible.
