. Maximum 32 characters,

including spaces, in a file or folder name.

. Maximum number of folders is 100 with a maximum hierarchy of eight folders.

. 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. It is recommended that there is a maximum of 192 files on a disc. The files can be recorded on a CD-R or CD-RW with a maximum capacity of 700MB.

. DVD with MP3 are not playable

on this system.

Root Directory The root directory is treated as a folder. If the root directory has compressed audio files, the directory displays as No Folder or ALL.

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 and the empty folder is not displayed or numbered.

No Folder When the CD contains only compressed files, the files are located under the root folder. The next and previous folder functions will have no function on a CD that was recorded without folders or playlists. When displaying the name of the folder the radio will display No Folder.

Order of Play Play begins from the first track under the root directory. When all tracks from the root directory have

Infotainment System 7-29

been played, play continues from files according to their numerical listing. After playing the last track from the last folder, play begins again at the first track of the first folder or root directory. When play enters a new folder, the display does not automatically show the new folder name. The new track name appears on the display.

File System and Naming The song name that displays is the song name that is contained in the ID3 tag. If the song name is not present in the ID3 tag, then the radio displays the file name without the extension (such as .mp3) as the track name. Track names longer than 32 characters or four pages are shortened. The display does not show parts of words on the last page of text and the extension of the filename does not display.
