≥This unit cannot play files recorded using packet write.

≥If the disc includes both MP3 and other types of audio data (e.g. WMA or WAV), the unit plays only the MP3.

the unit plays the type recorded in the inner part of the disc. ≥Depending on how you create MP3 files, they may not play in the

order you numbered them or may not play at all.

starts, the correct play time will not be displayed.
