6–Folders and Playlists
Creating new folders
Setting the current folder
By categorizing and organizing audio files in folders,
they can be managed effectively and played back
in folder units. Moreover, by creating playlists and
adding audio files to them as necessary, you can play
the files that you want in the order that you want. (See
“Setting the playback mode” on page 14.)
By creating folders, files can be categorized and
organized by genre and artist, for example, much like
file management on a computer.
A CF card that has just been formatted does not have
any folders. Recording in this state will create an
audio file in the card’s top directory.
When FAT16 format is used, the number of folders
and tracks in the root directory is limited to 512 total,
and the number of sub-directories is limited to 65534.
When FAT32 format is used, this total number is
limited to 65535 in the root directory and 65534 in the
sub-directories.
Audio files from any top-level folder on the HD-R1
can be read, but those in lower level folders cannot be
read.
