Playing back MP3 files

MP3 files recorded onto a CD are handled the same way as files are handled in an ordinary PC, with some

MP3 files are played in the following order

MP3 files held within a directory. In addition, several directories can be combined into one directory. This re- sults in multiple layers of directories and files.

When the Directory mode is on, only those files within a selected directory are available for playback.

When the directory mode is off, the directory config-ura- tion is ignored, and all MP3 files recorded on the disc are available for playback. Please note that Pro-gram playback and Repeat playback only function within di- rectories.

NOTE

Each MP3 file is handled as a track.

Directories which do not contain MP3 files directly un- der them cannot be selected for playback. For example, in the diagram below, under directory A are directory B and directory C. If there are MP3 files in both directory B and C, directory A cannot be selected for playback, but directory B and C can be selected for playback.
