This unit is compatible with multi-session but if there are a lot of sessions it takes more time for play to start. Keep the number of sessions to a minimum to avoid this.

If you play a MP3 track that includes still picture data, it will take

some time before the music itself starts playing and the elapsed time will not be displayed during this time. Even after the track starts, the correct play time will not be displayed.

Maximum number of tracks and groups recognizable: 999 tracks and 99 groups

Compatible compression rate: between 32 kbps and 320 kbps
