There are several specification levels. In Level 1, file
names must be in the 8.3 format(no more thaneight
charactersin thename,nomorethan threecharacters
in the extension “.MP3” or “.JPG”) and in capital
letters. Folder names can be no longer than eight
characters. There can be no more than eight nested

CD is a CD having multiple sessions, with each
segment from Lead-in to Lead-out regarded as a
single session.
CD-Extra: This format records audio (audio CD
data) on the tracks in session 1 and data on the tracks
in session 2.

2, folder names or file names may not be
displayed correctly.
