Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What type of CDs can I play with the RioVolt?

You can play CDs that have MP3 files or you can play regular CD audio music discs.

Can I mix CD Audio with MP3 files?

What is the maximum number of songs I can put on a single CD?

You can store up to 999 music tracks per CD depending on the size of the music tracks and the available space on your CD-R/RW. The RioVolt can only recognize up to 630 directories and files (e.g., If you have 20 albums on a CD, only 620 files can be recognized).
