The playback order of MP3 audio tracks

The playback order of albums and tracks recorded on a DATA CD is as follows.

Structure of disc contents

Tree 1 Tree 2 Tree 3 Tree 4 Tree 5

ROOT

album

track

When you insert a DATA CD and press H, the numbered tracks are played sequentially, from 1 through 7. Any sub-albums/tracks contained within a currently selected album take priority over the next album in the same tree. (Example: Ccontains Dso 4 is played before 5.)

When you press MENU and the list of MP3 albums appears (page 38), the albums are arranged in the following order: At Bt C t D t F t G. Albums that do not contain tracks (such as album E) do not appear in the list.

zHints

If you add numbers (01, 02, 03, etc.) to the front of the track names, the tracks will be played in that order.

Since a disc with many trees takes longer to start playback, it is recommended that you create the albums of no more than two trees.

Notes

Depending on the software you use to create the DATA CD, the playback order may differ from the illustration above.

The playback order above may not be applicable if there are more than a total of 999 albums and tracks in the DATA CD.

The player can recognize up to 499 albums (the player will count just albums, including albums that do not contain MP3 audio tracks). The player will not play any albums beyond the first 499 albums. Of the first 499 albums, the player will play no more than a combined total of 999 albums and tracks.
