Saving and Naming MP3 Files
Please keep the following information in mind when saving and naming files on
your MP3 discs:
• The Visteon MACH
®
MP3 Music System supports discs containing up to
255 files in 255 directories.
Discs containing more than 255 files will not play.
• Always save MP3 files with the .mp3 extension. The player recognizes an
MP3 file by the .mp3 extension, so MP3 files saved with different exten-
sions will not be played. Never save a non-MP3 file with the .mp3
extension because the file will not play properly and damage may
occur to the player or your sound system.
• The player supports multi session discs. However, be sure to import the
previous session of the disc before you add new files. If you do not import
the previous session, only the last session will be played.
• When burning a disc, be sure to close/finalize the disc before playback, or
the disc may not play properly or an error message may appear.
• The player supports DAM (Digital Automatic Music) discs.
MP3 File Directory Structure
The Visteon MACH
®
MP3 Music System recognizes MP3 disc file and directory
(folder) structure as follows:
• There are two different modes for MP3 disc playback: MP3 flat file mode
(default) and MP3 directory mode.
• MP3 flat file mode ignores any directory structure present on the MP3 disc.
The player sequentially numbers each MP3 track on the disc (denoted by
the .mp3 file extension), from T001 to T255.
• MP3 directory mode represents a directory structure consisting of one level
of directories (folders). The CD player sequentially numbers all MP3 tracks
on the disc (denoted by the .mp3 file extension) and all directories
containing MP3 files, from 01-01 to 99-99. The first two digits denote the
directory number and the last two digits denote the track number within that
directory.
• We recommend that you create discs containing one level of subdirectories
for ease in navigation through the files on the disc.
See the next few pages for example MP3 file numbering schemes.
