Playing Music files

Before Playing MP3 or WMA files

•The maximum number of files and folders that can be played is 1000 (total of the number of folders and files). The maximum number of folders is 255.

•The DCD-CX3 is not compatible with packet write software or playlists.

•Also refer to the instructions of the software used to create the MP3 or WMA files.
