Using a Compressed Audio CD/DVD
Compressed Audio CD/DVD Format
There are guidelines that must be met, when
creating an MP3, WMA, or mixed disc. If the
guidelines are not met when recording a burned
disc, the disc may not play. The guidelines are:
• ID3 tag information is displayed by the radio
if it is available. The radio supports ID3 tag
information v1.0, v1.1, and v2.0. 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.
• The recommended maximum number of
folders is 100 with a maximum hierarchy of
three folders.
• Create a folder structure that makes it easy to
find songs while driving. Organize songs by
albums using one folder for each album.
• All playlist files (.m3u or .pls) must be removed
from disc contents. Playlists are not supported.
• It is recommended that there is a maximum of
192 files on a CD-R(W) disc.
• It is recommended that there is a maximum of
200 files on a DVD+R(W) disc.
• The files can be recorded on a CD-R(W)
or DVD+R(W)
• Copy protected WMA files are not supported.
Scanning Compressed Audio Disc
Scanning a compressed audio disc categorizes
and allows sorting of songs by folder artist
or album.
• Select center folder/artist/album button to
initiate scanning mode. The radio will play and
a progress bar will display.
• Background scanning will occur with the radio
on and the compressed audio disc inserted
but not being played.
• Only the first 200 songs will appear in the
compressed audio music navigator.
• Scanning time will vary depending on the
number of files and folders on the disc.
