M3U FILE

The MEP-7000 supports files in the m3u format.

Files with the extension m3u are treated the same as folders; when selected with the cursor, the recorded tracks are shown on the contents display in the form of a playlist.

MEMO

Up to 100 m3u files can be displayed per device.

Up to 300 tracks can be displayed for each m3u file. However, if a file exceeds 308 000 bytes, tracks loaded past that size cannot be displayed.

M3U files are not supported using HFS+ file systems on USB storage devices.

In the case of discs, short file name notation is not supported.

NOTE

When this unit’s library function (P. 63) is used for browsing, m3u files will not be displayed.

Since a variety of formats can coexist within an m3u playlist, it may not operate properly in all cases.
