Total number of tracks
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 configu-
ration 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 ses-
sions may also be played back.
CDs containing MP3s to be played by the CD-RW901,
have their contents must be within the following maxi-
mum limits:
Number of directories: 255
Number of hierarchical structures: 8
Number of MP3 files: 999
Title size of MP3 files and directories: 255
Playing back MP3 files
During playback, titles are displayed in the following
order of priority:
ID3v2 > ID3v1 > file title
When stopped, the file title is displayed.
