Owner's Manual

7-14 Infotainment System
.
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 .m3u
or .wpl extension, other file
extensions may 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 can 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 can cause the
disc not to function in the player.
Playlists can be changed by using
the previous and next folder
buttons, the tune knob, or the SEEK
arrows. An MP3 CD-R or CD-RW
that was recorded using no file
folders can also be played. If a
CD-R or CD-RW contains more
than the maximum of 50 folders,
50 playlists, and 255 files, the
player can access and navigate up
to the maximum, but all items over
the maximum are not accessible.
Root Directory
The root directory of the CD-R or
CD-RW is treated as a folder. If the
root directory has compressed
audio files, the directory displays
as F1 ROOT. All files contained
directly under the root directory are
accessed prior to any root directory
folders. However, playlists (Px) are
always accessed before root folders
or files.
Empty Directory or Folder
If a root directory or a folder exists
somewhere in the file structure that
contains only folders/subfolders and
no compressed files directly
beneath them, the player advances
to the next folder in the file structure
that contains compressed audio
files. The empty folder does not
display.
