However, some CD-R and CD-RW discs may not work properly for any of the following reasons: disc burner characteristics, disc characteristics, the disc is damaged or dirty.

•You can determine the order in which the CBX-300 plays the MP3/WMA ﬁles in a folder by preﬁxing ﬁle names with a 3-digit number. For example, 001.Track.mp3, 002.Track.mp3, and so on.
