MP3 file folders and tracks

MP3 files recorded onto a CD are handled the same way as files are handled in an ordinary PC, with some MP3 files held within a folder. In addition, several folders can be combined into one folder. This results in multiple layers of folders and files.

NOTE

Each MP3 file is handled as a track.

Folders that do not contain MP3 files directly under them cannot be selected for playback. For example, in the diagram here, under folder A are folder B and folder C. If there are MP3 files in both folders B and C, folder A cannot be selected for playback, but folder B and C can be selected for playback.

The CD-DJ1 can play back MP3 files recorded in formats that conform to ISO9660 level 1, level 2, and the Joliet extensions.

CDs containing MP3s to be played by the CD-DJ1 have their contents must be within the following maximum limits:

Number of folders: 255

Number of hierarchical structures: 8

Number of MP3 files: 999

Title length of MP3 files and folders: 255

MP3 files are played in the following order.
