The system will not play or support the following:

•Empty albums: an empty album is an album that does not contain MP3/WMA files, and will not be shown in the display.

•Non-supported file formats are skipped.This means that e.g.: Word documents .doc or MP3 files with extension .dlf are ignored and will not be played.

IMPORTANT!

–Make sure that the file names of MP3 files end with .mp3.
