◆Your MP3 files should be in the ISO 9660 or JOLIET format.
The ISO 9660 format and Joliet MP3 files are compatible with Microsoft's DOS and Windows, and with Apple Macintosh. These two formats are the most widely used.
◆When naming your MP3 files, do not exceed 8 characters, and place “.mp3” as the file extension. General name format of: Title.mp3. When composing your title, make sure that you use 8 characters or less, that there are no spaces in the name, and avoid the use of special characters including: (.,/,\,=,+).

Certain “securized” files are encrypted and copy protected to prevent illegal copying. These files are of the following types: Windows MediaTM (registered trade mark of Microsoft Inc) and SDMITM (registered trademark of the SDMI Foundation). You cannot copy such files.
