Playing back MP3 files
MP3 les recorded onto a CD are handled the same
way as les are handled in an ordinary PC, with some
MP3 les held within a directory. In addition, several
directories can be combined into one directory. This re-
sults in multiple layers of directories and les.
When the Directory mode is on, only those les within a
selected directory are available for playback.
When the directory mode is off, the directory cong-ura-
tion is ignored, and all MP3 les recorded on the disc
are available for playback. Please note that Pro-gram
playback and Repeat playback only function within di-
rectories.
Each MP3 le is handled as a track.
Directories which do not contain MP3 les directly un-
der 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 les in both directory
B and C, directory A cannot be selected for playback,
but directory B and C can be selected for playback.
The CD-RW900 can play back MP3 les recorded in
formats which conforam to ISO9660 level 1, level 2,
formats which conrm to ISO9660 level 1, level 2, or
Joliet. Discs recorded in multiple sessions may also be
played back.

lowing limitations have been placed on the number of
