• There are two different modes for MP3 disc playback: MP3 track mode

(system default) and MP3 folder mode. For more information on track
and folder mode, refer to Sample MP3 structure in the following
section.

• MP3 track mode ignores any folder structure on the MP3 disc. The

player numbers each MP3 track on the disc (noted by the .mp3 file
extension) from T001 to a maximum of T255.
Note: The maximum number of playable MP3 files may be less
depending on the structure of the CD and exact model of radio present.

• MP3 folder mode represents a folder structure consisting of one level

of folders. The CD player numbers all MP3 tracks on the disc (noted
by the .mp3 file extension) and all folders containing MP3 files, from
F001 (folder) T001 (track) to F253 T255.

• Creating discs with only one level of folders will help with navigation

through the disc files.

Sample MP3 structure

If you are burning your own MP3
discs, it is important to understand
how the system will read the
structures you create. While various
files may be present, (files with
extensions other than mp3), only
files with the .mp3 extension will be
played. Other files will be ignored
by the system. This enables you to
use the same MP3 disc for a variety
of tasks on your work computer,
home computer and your in vehicle
system.

In track mode, the system will display and play the structure as if it were
only one level deep (all .mp3 files will be played, regardless of being in a
specific folder). In folder mode, the system will only play the .mp3 files
in the current folder.
