About MP3/WMA discs

On an MP3/WMA disc, each song is recorded as a file (track). Files are sometimes grouped into folders by artists, album, etc.

•Each file is regarded as a track.

•A folder which has one or more files is regarded as a group.

•A folder which does not directly contain any tracks is ignored.

•Files which do not belong to any folder are grouped into “group 1.”

•The player recognizes up to 150 tracks per group, and up to 99 groups per disc. If there are files other than MP3/WMA files, they also count in the 150-file total.

Max. 99 groups per disc

•As for WMA files, make sure that the copyright feature is set to off.
