Root Directory
The root directory is treated as a
folder. Files are stored in the root
directory when the disc or storage
device does not contain folders.
Files accessed from the root
directory of a CD display as
F1 ROOT.
Empty Folder
Folders that do not contain files are
skipped, and the player advances to
the next folder that contains files.
Order of Play
Compressed audio files are
accessed in the following order:
.Playlists (Px).
. Files stored in the root directory.
. Files stored in folders in the root
directory.

order:
. Play begins from the first track in
the first playlist and continues
sequentially through all tracks in
each playlist. When the last track of the last playlist has

first track of the first playlist.
. Play begins from the first track in
the first folder and continues
sequentially through all tracks in
each folder. When the last track
of the last folder has played,

File System and Naming
The song name that displays is the
song name 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 created 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.
