Playing CDs—Continued

Setting MP3 Preferences

With the MP3 preferences, you can change the way MP3 file information is displayed and the way MP3 CDs are played.

Preferences

Bad Name?

This preference determines whether or not file and folder names that contain undisplayable characters are replaced with “File_n” or “Folder_n”, “n” being the file or folder number. When set to “Not Replace”, displayable charac- ters are displayed and underscore characters are used in place of any undisplayable characters.

For ID3 tags, underscore characters are used in place of undisplayable characters regardless of this preference.

CD Extra?

This preference applies to CD Extra discs and deter- mines whether music in the audio session or MP3 files in the data session are played.

Audio: Music in the audio session will be played (default).

MP3: MP3 files will be played.

Joliet?

This preference applies to MP3 discs in Joliet format and determines whether the CD receiver reads the SVD data or treats the disc as an ISO 9660 disc. Normally, this preference doesn’t need to be changed.

SVD (Supplementary Volume Descriptor) supports long file and folder names and characters other than letters and numbers. Some CD burning software refers to the Joliet format as “Windows format”.

Use SVD: Reads in SVD data (default).

ISO9660: Will be read in as ISO9660 format.

Hide Number?

This preference determines whether or not the numbers at the beginning of file and folder names are hidden. When you create an MP3 CD on a personal computer, you cannot normally determine the playback order of the files. However, if you number the MP3 files in order, starting with 01, 02, 03, and so on, they will play in that order. If you don’t want these numbers to appear on the display, choose “Enable”.

Disable: The file and folder name, including numbers, will be displayed as is (default).

Enable: The file and folder name will be dis- played but numbers will be hidden.
