Using an MP3
(Radio with CD Player)
MP3/WMA CD-R Disc
MP3 Format
If you burn your own MP3/WMA disc on a
personal computer:
• Make sure the MP3/WMA files are recorded
on a CD-R disc.
• Do not mix standard audio and MP3/WMA
files on one disc.
• Make sure each MP3/WMA file has a .m3u
or .wma extension, other file extensions
may not work.
• Files can be recorded with a variety of fixed or
variable bit rates. Song title, artist name, and
album are available for display by the radio
when recorded using ID3 tags version 1 and 2.
• 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.
• Make sure to finalize the disc when burning an
MP3/WMA disc, using multiple sessions. It is
usually better to burn the disc all at once.
The player is able to read and play a maximum of
50 folders, five sessions, and 999 files. Long file
names and folder names may use more disc
memory space than necessary. To conserve space
on the disc, minimize the length of the file and folder
names. You can also play an MP3/WMA CD that
was recorded using no file folders. The system can
support up to eight folders in depth, though, keep
the depth of the folders to a minimum in order to
keep down the complexity and confusion in trying to
locate a particular folder during playback. If a CD
contains more than the maximum of 50 folders, five
sessions, and 999 files, the player lets you access
and navigate up to the maximum, but all items over
the maximum is ignored.
Root Directory
The root directory is treated as a folder. If the root
directory has compressed audio files, the directory
is displayed as ROOT. All files contained directly
under the root directory are accessed prior to any
other directory.
