Using an MP3
(Radio with CD)
MP3/WMA CD-R or
CD-RW Disc
The radio plays MP3/WMA files that
were recorded on a CD-R or CD-RW
disc. The files can be recorded with
the following fixed bit rates: 32 kbps,
40 kbps, 56 kbps, 64 kbps, 80 kbps,
96 kbps, 112 kbps, 128 kbps,
160 kbps, 192 kbps, 224 kbps,
256 kbps, and 320 kbps or a variable
bit rate. Song title, artist name, and
album are available for display by the
radio when recorded using ID3 tags
version 1 and 2.
Compressed Audio
The radio also plays discs that
contain both uncompressed CD
audio (.CDA files) and MP3/WMA
files. The radio plays both file formats
in the order in which they were
recorded to the disc.
MP3/WMA Format
Creating an MP3/WMA disc on a
personal computer:
• Make sure the MP3/WMA files
are recorded on a CD-R or
CD-RW disc.
• Do not mix standard audio and
MP3/WMA files on one disc.
• The CD player is able to
read and play a maximum of
50 folders, 15 playlists, and a
combined total of 512 folders
and files.
• 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.
• Avoid subfolders. The system
can support up to eight subfolders
deep, however, keep the total
number of folders to a minimum in
order to reduce the complexity
and confusion in trying to locate a
particular folder during playback.
• Make sure playlists have a .mp3
or .wpl extension (other file
extensions might not work).
• Minimize the length of the file,
folder, or playlist names. Long file,
folder, or playlist names, or a
combination of a large number of
files and folders, or playlists could
cause the player to be unable to
play up to the maximum number
of files, folders, playlists, or
sessions. To play a large number
of files, folders, playlists or
sessions, minimize the length of
the file, folder, or playlist name.
Long names also take up more
space on the display, potentially
getting cut off.
• Finalize the audio disc before
burning it. Trying to add music to
an existing disc could cause the
disc not to function in the player.
