Using an MP3 CD
MP3 Format
There are guidelines that must be
met, when creating an MP3 disc.
If the following guidelines are not
met when recording a CD-R(W), the
CD may not play.
. Sampling rate: 16 kHz,
22.05 kHz, 24 kHz, 32 kHz, and
44.1 kHz.
. Bit rates supported: 32, 40, 48,
56, 64, 80, 96, 112, 128, 160,
192, 224, 256, and 320 kbps.
. ID3 tag information is displayed
by the radio if it is available. The
radio supports ID3 tag
information v1.0 or v1.1. The
radio will display a filename,
song name, artist name, album
name, and directory name.
. Maximum 32 characters,
including spaces, in a file or
folder name.
. Maximum number of folders is
253 with a maximum hierarchy
of eight folders.
. Create a folder structure that
makes it easy to find songs
while driving. Organize songs by
albums using one folder for each
album. Each folder or album
should contain 18 songs or less.
. It is recommended that there is a
maximum of 192 files on a disc.
. The files can be recorded on a
CD-R or CD-RW with a
maximum capacity of 700 MB.
. DVD with MP3 are not playable
on this system.
Root Directory
The root directory will be treated as
a folder. If the root directory has
compressed audio files, the
directory will be displayed as ROOT.
All files contained directly under the
root directory will be accessed prior
to any root directory folders.
However, playlists (Px) will always
be accessed before root folders or
files.
Empty Directory or Folder
If a root directory or a folder exists
somewhere in the file structure that
contains only folders/subfolders and
no compressed files directly
beneath them, the player will
advance to the next folder in the file
structure that contains compressed
audio files and the empty folder will
not be displayed or numbered.
No Folder
When the CD contains only
compressed files, the files will be
located under the root folder. The
next and previous folder functions
will have no function on a CD that
was recorded without folders or
playlists. When displaying the name
of the folder the radio will
display ROOT.
