Notes on playing MP3 discs

Do not save other types of files or unnecessary folders on a disc that has MP3 files.

Folders that have no MP3 files are skipped.

MP3 files are played back in the order that they are recorded onto the disc.

The system can only play MP3 files that have a file extension of “.MP3”.

If there are files on the disc that have the “.MP3” file extension, but that are not MP3 files, the unit may produce noise or may malfunction.

The maximum number of:

folders is 255 (including the root folder).

MP3 files is 511.

MP3 files and folders that can be contained on a single disc is 512.

folder levels (the tree structure of files) is 8.

Compatibility with all MP3 encoding/writing software, recording device, and recording media cannot be guaranteed. Incompatible MP3 discs may produce noise or interrupted audio or may not play at all.

Notes on playing multisession discs

If the disc begins with a CD-DA (or MP3) session, it is recognized as a CD-DA (or MP3) disc, and other sessions are not played back.

A disc with a mixed CD format is recognized as a CD-DA (audio) disc.
