MP3/WMA discs

The MicroSystem CD can play CD-R and CD-RW discs encoded with MP3 or WMA music files. “MP3” or “WMA” will appear in the display when these types of files are playing. These discs behave differently from standard CDs. When a disc is inserted, the CD player first must read its directory and number all the tracks. This process may take up to 20 seconds or more if the disc contains many songs. A flashing “CD” will show in the display.

Creating MP3/WMA discs on your computer

If a disc is created with a little planning, it can be made more convenient to navigate.

If you group the MP3/WMA song files on your disc in a series of top-level folders with about 10-20 songs (or one album) in each folder, the MicroSystem CD can be conve- niently operated like a CD changer from the Remote Control; see “Playing MP3/WMA discs,” below. Otherwise, you can simply place all your song files at the top level of the disc or use any other arrangement of files and folders.

Playing MP3/WMA discs

Tune / Track

You can navigate MP3/WMA files using the Tune/Track arrow buttons, just as with standard CD tracks.

To go to the previous or next song file, press the

Tune/Track arrow button.

To move forward or backward within a song, hold down the Tune/Track arrow button.

The Remote Control has two additional arrow buttons, marked “MP3 folder.” These jump to the previous or next folder on the disc. This is a fast and easy way to move through many song files, if you have created your disc with the songs grouped in top-level fold- ers as explained above. If so, the MP3 folder buttons act like the disc change buttons on a CD changer.

The MicroSystem CD assigns and displays a track number for every song file on the disc, in one continuous series, regardless of any folders.
