<About directory playback>
A directory (also called a “folder”) is a hierarchical level on CD media or a hard disk.
If directory mode is on, only the files within the selected directory will be the target of your opera- tions, and functions such as program playback and repeat playback will all occur within the same direc- tory.
If directory mode is off, the directory structure of the disc is ignored, and all MP3 files on the disc will be subject to playback.
