10 The playback order of the MP3 files The playback order of the folders and files is as follows: Tree1 Tree2 Tree3 Tree4 Tree5 (root) Notes -This player cannot read the MP3 files if the file name does not end with the extension .MP3. -Folders that do not include MP3 files are skipped. -When you insert a disc with many trees, it takes a longer time to start playback. We recommend that you make only one or two trees for each disc. -Maximum total number of MP3 files and folders is 300, and maximum number of folders is 150 (including root folder and empty folders). -If the maximum number of folders or MP3 files is exceeded, the additional folders/MP3 files are not recognized. For example, if you insert the disc with 151 folders, the player reads only 150 folders. -This unit can play MP3 files in folders nested up to 8 layers deep in the folder tree. 1 2 6 3 5 7 1 2 6 7 4 8 3 5 8 4 9 Folder (album) MP3 files (tracks) Notes -With formats other than ISO 9660 level 1, folder names or file names may not be displayed correctly. -When naming, be sure to add the file extension .MP3 to the file name. -If you add the extension .MP3 to a file other than MP3, the unit cannot recognize the file properly and will generate random noise that could damage your speakers. -The following discs take a longer time to start playback. -“a disc recorded with a complicated tree structure. -“a disc recorded in Multi Session. -“a disc to which data can be added (non-finalized disc).
