Step-by-Step Instructions – Playing MP3 CDs
The Crosley CR12-1 will also play CDs recorded in MP3 format. While a normal audio
CD will usually only have 10 to 20 tracks, a CD recorded in MP3 format can hold up to
about 200 songs. Playing an MP3 CD is essentially the same as playing a normal audio
CD except that there are a few more features available for the MP3 format.
Press the yellow power button on the right side of the front control panel. Next, press the
stand by button on the front control panel. The LCD screen will light up and greet you
with HELLO. Press the function button to switch to CD mode. The LCD screen will
flash CD READ as the system checks to see if there is already a disc present in the drive.
When it has determined that there is no disc present it will display NO DISC on the LCD.
Now, press the open/close button to open the CD player. Place a CD on the tray and
press open/close again to close the player. The LCD screen will flash CD READ as it
searches for tracks on the CD. When it has finished checking, the total number of tracks
will be shown on the left side of the LCD display. The total numbers of albums is shown
at the top center of the LCD. Note: The album number will only be shown for files
sorted by folder (album name) before they were recorded to the CD. Press play/pause to
begin playing the CD. Song title, artist and album name will be displayed on the LCD if
that information has been included when the file was recorded. Use the volume up/down
