How discs with MP3 differ from CDs
This unit can play MP3 files recorded on CD-R/RW with a computer.
Files are treated as tracks and folders are treated as albums.
This unit can access up to 999 tracks, 195 albums and 20 sessions.
When making MP3 files to play on this unit
Disc format
Discs must conform to ISO9660 level 1 or 2 (except for extended
formats).
File format
MP3 files must have the extension “.MP3” or “.mp3”.
To play in a certain order
Prefix the folder and file names with 3-digit
numbers in the order you want to play them.
Files may not be recorded in numbered order if
the prefixes have different numbers of digits.
For example: 1????.mp3, 2????.mp3, 10????.mp3.
However, some writing software may also
cause recording to occur in a different order.
