affect your ears.
The playback order of MP3 files
The playback order of albums and tracks (MP3
files) recorded on a disc is as follows:
Structure of disc contents
When the disc stored MP3 files is inserted, the
tracks are played sequentially from 1through 7
as numbered. Any sub-albums/tracks contained
within a currently selected album take priority
over the next album in the same tree. (Example:
Ccontains Dso 4is played before 5.)
In the MP3 albums list that appears when you
press (LIST), the albums are arranged in the
following order: AtBtCtDtF
tG. Albums that do not contain tracks (such
as album E) do not appear in the list.
Notes
•The playback order may differ depending on the
writing software.
•The playback order may not be applicable if a total
number of albums and tracks on the disc are over
512.
•The unit can play up to 256 albums. Albums more
than first 256 albums cannot be recognized on this
unit.
Tips
•If you add numbers (01, 02, 03, etc.) to the front of
the track file names, the tracks will be played in that
order.
•Since a disc with many trees takes longer to start
playback, it is recommended that you create albums
of no more than two tree levels.
