Multisession CDs
On multisession CDs, the content of the
first session determines how the Driver
Information System handles the CD.
If the first session contains data in the audio
CD format, for example, and the second
session contains MP3 or wma tracks, the
system will handle the CD as a
conventional audio CD. This means that
the MP3 or wma tracks cannot be
accessed.
If the first session contains MP3 or wma
tracks, for example, and the second
session contains data in the audio CD
format, the system will not handle the CD
as an audio CD. In this case, only the MP3
or wma tracks can be accessed.
Mixed Mode CD/CD-Extra
Mixed Mode CDs are CDs that contain data
in the audio CD format as well as other
data, such as pictures. The Driver
Information System can play back neither
the audio data nor the other data from this
type of CD.
CDs with the designation “CD-Extra” can
have the same content as Mixed Mode
CDs. With CD-Extra CDs, however, the
data is stored in a different manner. The
Driver Information System can play back
the audio data from these CDs.
These CDs can also bear the designation
“CD Plus” or “Enhanced CD”.
MP3 or wma discs
File structure
When creating MP3 or wma discs, you can
organize the tracks into folders. Folders
can also contain further folders
(subfolders). A disc may have a maximum
of 255 folders in total. A maximum of 255
tracks and 255 subfolders are permissible
per folder, with a maximum nesting depth of
8 folder levels.
The system cannot access more deeply
nested folders. The same applies to the
tracks stored in these folders.
A maximum of 4000 tracks in total are
permissible per disc.
Below you will find an example of a file
structure.
