Entertainment Systems Saving and naming MP3 files • Your MACH௡ MP3 music system supports discs containing up to 255 files in 255 directories. Discs containing more than 255 files will not play. • Always save MP3 files with the .mp3 extension. The player recognizes an MP3 file by the .mp3 extension, so MP3 files saved with different extensions will not be played. Never save a non-MP3 file with the .mp3 extension as the file will not play properly and damage may occur to the player or your sound system. • The player supports multi session discs. However, be sure to import the previous session of the disc before you add new files. If you do not import the previous session, only the last session will be played. • When burning a disc, ensure that you close/finalize the disc before playback, or the disc may not play properly or an error message may appear. • The player supports DAM (Digital Automatic Music) discs. Sample hierarchies If you are burning your own MP3 discs, it is important to understand how the MACH௡ MP3 music system will read the hierarchies you create. This is an example of creating a directory structure that is one level deep with various types of music. While various files are present, (files with extensions other than mp3), only files with the .mp3 extension will be played. Other files will be ignored by the system. This enables you to use the same MP3 disc for a variety of tasks on your work computer, home computer and your MACH௡ MP3 music system. 42
