The playback order of MP3 files
The playback order of the folders and files is as
follows.
Example:
Notes
• A folder that does not include an MP3 file is skipped.
• Maximum folder number: 255 (including the root
folder and empty folders)
• The maximum number of MP3 files and folders that
can be contained in a disc: 512
If a file/folder name contains many characters, this
number may become less than 512.
• The maximum number of trees which can be played
is 8.
• If ATRAC3 files and MP3 files are in the “MG
Memory Stick,” only ATRAC3 files are played back
(MP3 files are not played back or displayed).
• Do not store MP3 files in the HIFI folder or
CONTROL folder of the “MG Memory Stick” as they
cannot be played or recognised.
Tip
To specify a desired playback order, before the folder
or file name, input the order by number (e.g., “01,”
“02”), then record contents onto a disc. (The order
differs depending on the writing software.)
Display items
When the folder/album (disc)/track changes, any
prerecorded title of the new folder/album (disc)/
track is automatically displayed.
Each time you press (DSPL), items change as
follows.
