File System and Naming

The song name that will be displayed will be the song
name that is contained in the ID3 tag. If the song
name is not present in the ID3 tag, then the radio
will display the file name without the extension
(such as .mp3) as the track name.

Track names longer than 32 characters or 4 pages
will be shortened. The display will not show parts
of words on the last page of text and the extension
of the filename will not be displayed.

Preprogrammed Playlists

You can access preprogrammed playlists which
were created by WinAmp™, MusicMatch™, or Real
Jukebox™ software, however, you will not have editing
capability. These playlists will be treated as special
folders containing compressed audio song files.

Playing an MP3

Insert a CD partway into the slot, label side up. The
player will pull it in, and READING will appear on
the display. The CD should begin playing and the CD
symbol will appear on the display. If you want to insert
a CD with the ignition off, first press the EJECT
button or the RCL knob.

If the ignition or radio is turned off with a CD in the
player it will stay in the player. When the ignition or radio
is turned on, the CD will start to play where it stopped,
if it was the last selected audio source.

As each new track starts to play, the track number will
appear on the display.

The CD player can play the smaller 3 inch (8 cm)
single CDs with an adapter ring. Full-size CDs and the
smaller CDs are loaded in the same manner.

If playing a CD-R the sound quality may be reduced
due to CD-R quality, the method of recording, the quality
of the music that has been recorded, and the way the
CD-R has been handled. There may be an increase
in skipping, difficulty in finding tracks, and/or difficulty in
loading and ejecting. If these problems occur try a
known good CD.

Do not add paper labels to CDs, they could get caught
in the CD player.

If an error appears on the display, see “CD Messages”
later in this section.
