FILE STRUCTURE AND PLAYBACK
Album Mode
Folders read from the iPod (“Playlists,” “Albums” and “Podcasts”) are considered “Discs” by the adaptor.
The iPod adaptor plays discs according to the following priority:
1. Customer created playlists (e.g. “Road Trip,” “Kid Tunes”)
2. iTunes created playlists (“Recent Play”, “Top 25,” etc.)
3. Albums (includes “Podcasts”)
A Playlist is a group of folders/songs selected by either the customer or iTunes. Songs within a specific
folder, usually by a single artist are considered an album.
For example, if you have 3 “Playlists,” a Top 25 list, and 3 “Albums,” you have 7 “Discs” on your iPod The
customer created “Playlists” are shown as Discs 1−3, the “Top 25 list” is Disc 4, and the “Albums” are Discs
5−7.
For each “disc,” songs are sorted alphabetically then numerically.
Folders are numbered 1 − 9 and displayed on the audio display in the order read from the iPod. When
the 10
th
folder is opened, numbering starts over at disc 1, the 11th folder is numbered disc 2, and so forth.
Song numbers are displayed 1−99, but numbering does not repeat. Songs played after number 99 are
displayed as 99.
All Songs Mode
Each song is it’s own separate file. They are sorted in alphabetical, then numerical order.
