Playing back MP3 files

Page 24 highlights

4 − Playback operations Playing back MP3 files MP3 files recorded onto a CD are handled the same way as files are handled in an ordinary PC, with some MP3 files held within a directory. In addition, several directories can be combined into one directory. This results in multiple layers of directories and files. When the Directory mode is on, only those files within a selected directory are available for playback. When the directory mode is off, the directory configuration is ignored, and all MP3 files recorded on the disc are available for playback. Please note that Program playback and Repeat playback only function within directories. NOTE Each MP3 file is handled as a track. Directories that do not contain MP3 files directly under them cannot be selected for playback. For example, in the diagram below, under directory A are directory B and directory C. If there are MP3 files in both directories B and C, directory A cannot be selected for playback, but directory B and C can be selected for playback. The CD-RW901 can play back MP3 files recorded in formats that conform to ISO9660 level 1, level 2, and the Joliet extensions. Discs recorded in multiple sessions may also be played back. CDs containing MP3s to be played by the CD-RW901, have their contents must be within the following maximum limits: Number of directories: 255 Number of hierarchical structures: 8 Number of MP3 files: 999 Title size of MP3 files and directories: 255 Directory playback setting 1. Press the DIRECTORY key on the remote control. Or, use the DIRECTORY option in the PLAY sub-menu to turn this mode on or off (see "Operation basics" on page 16). Pressing the MENU key or pushing the MULTI JOG dial exits to normal mode. NOTE All MP3 files in a disc can be played back when directory playback mode is off. The indicator MP3 lights up and only the total number of track will be shown.

When stopped, use the MULTI JOG dial or SKIP key to select desired directory for playback. 3. Press the PLAY key to start playback in the directory. Program or Repeat playback can be operated in the selected directory also.
