Note:
When naming directories and
tracks/files you should avoid using
accents and special characters.
You can use a maximum of 32
characters (including the “.MP3” file
extension) for track names and di-
rectory names.
If you like your files to be in the correct
order, you should use burner software
that places files in alphanumerical or-
der. If your software does not provide
this feature you also have the option of
sorting the files manually. To do so, you
should place a number (e.g. “001”,
“002”, etc.) at the beginning of each file
name - you must include the leading
zeros.
MP3 tracks can contain additional in-
formation such as the artist, album and
track names (ID3 tags). This device can
display ID3 tags (version 1). When cre-
ating (encoding) MP3 files from audio
files, you should use bit rates up to a
maximum of 256 kbits/sec.
This device can only play MP3 files that
have the “.MP3” file extension.
Notes:
To ensure uninterrupted playback,
do not try changing the file exten-
sion to “.MP3” of any files other
than MP3 files and then attempt to
play them! The device will ignore
these invalid files during playback.
Do not use “mixed” CDs containing
both non-MP3 data and MP3
tracks (the device only reads MP3
files during MP3 playback).
Do not use mix-mode CDs contain-
ing both CD-audio tracks and MP3
tracks. If you try playing a mix-
mode CD, the device will only play
the CD-audio tracks.
Switching to MP3 mode
MP3 mode is activated in the same way
as normal CD mode. For further infor-
mation, please read the section entitled
“Switching to CD mode” in the “CD
mode” chapter.
