Using an MP3
MP3/WMA CD-R or CD-RW Disc
The radio plays MP3 and WMA files that were
recorded on a CD-R or CD-RW disc. The files can
be recorded with the following fixed bit rates:
32 kbps, 40 kbps, 56 kbps, 64 kbps, 80 kbps,
96 kbps, 112 kbps, 128 kbps, 160 kbps, 192 kbps,
224 kbps, 256 kbps, and 320 kbps or a variable
bit rate. Song title, artist name, and album
can display when files are recorded using ID3 tags
version 1 and 2.
Compressed Audio
The radio also plays discs that contain both
standard uncompressed CD audio and MP3/WMA
compressed audio files. By default the radio
reads only the uncompressed audio and ignores
the MP3/WMA files. Pressing the CAT (category)
button toggles between compressed and
uncompressed audio format.
MP3/WMA Format
If you burn your own MP3/WMA disc on a
personal computer:
Make sure the MP3 files are recorded on a
CD-R or CD-RW disc.
Make sure the CD does not have more than a
maximum of 50 folders, 50 playlists, and
255 files to read and play.
Create a folder structure that makes it easy to
find songs while driving. Organize songs by
albums using one folder for each album.
Each folder or album should contain 18 songs
or less.
Avoid subfolders. The system can support up
to 8 subfolders deep, however, keep the total
number of folders to a minimum in order to
reduce the complexity and confusion in trying
to locate a particular folder during playback.
Make sure playlists have a .mp3 or .wpl
extension (other file extensions might
not work).
