How to organize music files
In order to easily handle the large number of music files on
a CD-ROM, you can organize them in folders (“albums”).
The tracks of an album will be played in alphabetical order.
If you want to arrange them in a certain order, let the file
names start with numbers. For example:
001-ONEWORLD.MP3
002-FIRESTARTER.MP3
003-DEEP.MP3
Albums will be arranged in alphabetical order, but subfolders
(albums within another album) will be played immediately
after the album in which they are located. Albums without
MP3 files will be skipped.
If there are MP3 files which you did not put into an album,
you will find them in the album VARIOUS with album
number 0.VARIOUS is the first album that will be played.
When playing a disc with CD Audio tracks and MP3 files,
the CD Audio tracks will be played first.
How to make a CD-ROM with MP3 files
Use your computer´s CD burner to record (“burn”) the
music files from your hard disc on a CD-ROM. Use either
ISO 9660 disc format or UDF. Some CD burner software
like e. g.“DirectCD” support the UDF format.
Make sure that the file names of the MP3 files end with .mp3.
