Infotainment To record an MP3 disc: No Folder On a CD that contains only .mp3 files in the root directory the next and previous folder functions do not work. On a CD that contains playlists and .mp3 files, the next and previous folder functions search playlists first and then search .mp3 files in the root folder. Order of Play Tracks are played in the following order for CDs that have playlists: 1. The first track in the first playlist and then continues sequentially through all tracks in each playlist. 2. When the last track of the last playlist has played, play restarts from the first track of the first playlist. 6-21 • Record the MP3 files onto a CD-R or CD-RW disc. Tracks are played in the following order for CDs that do not have playlists: 1. Play starts with the first file in the root directory. 2. After all files from the root directory have played, files in the folders will play. 3. After playing the last file from the last folder, play restarts with the first file in the root directory. File System and Naming The radio shows track names that are shorter than 39 characters, names that are longer will be shortened. The radio will show the track name as: • Record playlists with an .m3u or .wpl extension. • Do not mix standard audio and MP3 files on the same disc. • Record the entire disc at once. • Finalize the disc when recording an MP3 disc with multiple sessions. Root Directory The root directory is treated as a folder. All .mp3 files in the root directory are accessed before folders in the root directory. Empty Directory or Folder Empty folders and directories will not show on the display. The system will ignore empty directories and folders and advance to the next directory or folder that has .mp3 files in it. • The song name that is in the ID3 tag. • The file name without the file extension if the song name is not in the ID3 tag.
