For multisession CDs, the content of the first
session determines how the multimedia system
processes the CD. The multimedia system only
plays back one session and gives priority to the
first session on the CD.
File structure of a data carrier
When you create a disc with compressed music
files, the tracks can be organized in folders. A
folder may also contain subfolders. The disc
may contain no more than eight directory levels
(a root and seven sub-levels). Files beyond the
eighth level will not be recognized by the sys-
tem.
iThe multimedia system supports up to
25,000 files for all of the connected sources.
Track and file names
When you create a disc with compressed music
files, you can assign names to the tracks and
folders.
You should observe the following when assign-
ing track names:
Rtrack names must have at least one charac-
ter.
Rtrack names must have an extension of a sup- ported audio/video format, e.g. mp3, aac or
m4v.
Rthere must be a dot between the track name
and the extension.
Example of a correct track name:
"Track1.mp3".
Permissible formats
The multimedia system supports the following
audio formats:
RMP3
RWMA
RCD-A

the following type:
Rfixed and variable bit rates from 32 kbit/s to
320 kbit/s
Rsampling rates of 8 kHz to 48 kHz
