Using an MP3/WMA CD-R or
CR-W Disc
The radio will play 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 will be available for display by
the radio when recorded using ID3 tags version 1 and 2.
Compressed Audio
The radio will also play discs that contain both
uncompressed CD audio (.CDA files) and MP3/WMA
files. By default the radio will read only the
uncompressed audio and ignore the MP3/WMA files.
Pressing the CAT button will toggle 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.
• Do not mix standard audio and MP3 files on one disc.
• The CD player is able to read and play a maximum of
50 folders, 50 playlists, and 255 files.
