Tips on identifying the order of the tracks

•Include a two- or three-digit number at the beginning of each album or track name. (e.g. “01,” “02,” … or “001,” “002,” …)

If you use the numbers such as “1,” “2,” “3,” … ”9,” “10,” “11,” …, the unit unexpectedly plays in the order of “1,” “10,” “11,” … “2,” “20,” “21,” … “3,” “30,” “31,” and so on.

•It is recommended that you use only the parent folders (do not create child folders under a folder).

•Writing software capable of writing MP3 files in numerical and alphabetical order is required if you want them in order. For details on using the software, refer to the operating instructions supplied with your software.
