Complex folder structures can also slow down the reading of a data medi-
um.
Playlists only determine a certain playing order. There are no files stored in
a playlist. The unit will not play a playlist if the files are not on the data me-
dium at the locations referred to by the playlist (relative file paths).

Example of an
MP3 CD structure.
Audio files
on data media are often organised by means of folders
and
playlists
to determine a certain playing order.
Tracks, folders and playlists on a data medium are sorted by name in alpha-
betic or numeric order.
Subfolders are treated like folders and numbered in accordance with the se-
quence on the CD.
The illustration ⇒ fig. 13 shows a typical MP3 CD that contains tracks
,
folders
and subfolders.
Accordingly, the tracks and folders on this CD are played and displayed in
the following order:
Tracks
1
and
2
in the root directory (ROOT) of the CD
Tracks

play:
