Audio mode
CDs recorded in UDF or Direct CD format can-
not be p
l
ayed. Under Windows Vista ®
ensure
that the correct format is selected.
The unit may be unable to read individual
tracks or the entire data medium due to the
data medium configuration or the devices
and programs used for recording. Informa-
tion about the best ways to create audio files
and data media (compression rate, ID3 tag
etc.) can be found on the Internet.
Due to the larger quantity of data, the unit
takes longer to read a data medium contain-
ing compressed audio files (MP3) than a
“normal” audio CD. Complex folder struc-
tures can also slow down the reading of a da-
ta medium.
Playlists only determine a certain playing or-
der. There are no files stored in a playlist. The
unit will not play a playlist if the files are not
stored on the data medium at the locations
referred to by the playlist (relative file paths). Playing order of files and folders

Example of an MP3 CD structure. Audio files
on dat
a medi
a are often sorted
by folders and playlists to determine a
certain playing order.
Tracks, folders and playlists on a data medi-
um are each sorted by name in alphanumeric
order.
Subfolders are treated like folders and num-
bered in accordance with the sequence on
the CD.
