MP3/WMA FAQs–Frequently Asked Questions
Please read before playing an MP3/WMA disc.
Does the unit support packet write CD-RW?
Yes, it can. You can add or delete MP3/WMA files without reformatting. It appears like a PC hard drive.
Can the unit read regular music CDs?
Yes, it can. However you can not mix MP3/WMAs and WAV files on the same CD. If you do this, the unit will
play only the MP3/WMA files.
Can I use the MP3/WMA extension for non-audio data files?
No, this may result in serious malfunction and harmful noise interference.
Can I mix MP3/WMA files with other file types on the CDR?
Yes, but this unit will ignore those files and read only the MP3/WMA files on the CDR.
Does the unit support multi-session CDRs?
If the MP3/WMA disc is not finalized, you can burn a new group of MP3 files until the CD is full.
Does the unit support subdirectories (subfolders)?
Yes, the unit can read MP3/WMA files from subfolders.
SINGLE SESSION
The chart below is an example of a Windows Explorer display that will appear on your computer monitor for
a single session MP3/WMA CD Rom with directories/albums. Check the added notes to help you understand
the MP3/WMA CD unit display and the playback sequence of directories/albums and tracks on a single
session MP3/WMA CD.
MULTI SESSION
The computer user does not need to finalize the
CDR disc as music is burned on the CD. Because
of this, the music can be downloaded at different
times until the whole CD is full.
NOTES:
• The arrow pathway shows the sequence of
MP3/WMA directory and file playback.
• This example has a total of seven MP3/WMA
directories.
• Based on this layout, the first file will be
“Blur01.wma” and the last file will be
“Twain15.mp3”.
• “Skipped” denotes a directory which contains
non-audio files only, e.g. jpg, wav, etc. These
cannot be detected nor played on this unit.
When an album contains mixed format files, the
non-MP3/WMA files will be skipped.
