Using an MP3
MP3/WMA Format
The Single CD and the Six-Disc CD Radio will play
MP3/WMA files that were recorded on a CD-R or
CD-RW disc. The HDD Radio is similar and can also
play MP3/WMA files recorded on DVD +/− R discs or a
USB storage device.
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.
Creating an MP3/WMA Disc
If you burn your own MP3/WMA disc on a personal
computer:
• Make sure the MP3/WMA files are recorded on a
CD-R or CD-RW disc.
• Do not mix standard audio and MP3/WMA files on
one disc.
• Make sure the CD does not have more than a
maximum of 50 folders and 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, keep the total number of
folders to a minimum to reduce the complexity and
confusion during playback.
• Make sure playlists have a .mp3 or .wpl extension
(other file extensions may not work).
