Permissible MP3 CDs
In MP3 mode COMAND can read CD-R and 
CD-RW CDs.
Permissible file systems
The permitted file system is
ISO9660/Joliet for CD-R and CD-RW.
Multi session discs
With multi session discs, the content of the 
first session determines how COMAND 
treats the CD. 
For example, if the first session contains 
data in audio CD format and the second 
session contains data in MP3 format, 
COMAND will treat the CD as a conven-
tional audio CD.
File structure
When creating an MP3 CD, you can orga-
nize MP3 tracks into folders. A folder can 
also contain additional folders. 
The root directory may have a maximum of 
255 entries in total (folders or tracks). 
A CD may have a maximum of 255 folders 
in total. A maximum of 255 tracks are per-
missible per folder.
Mathematically a maximum of 65025 
tracks would result. However, this amount 
is usually not reached since MP3 requires 
approx. 1 MB storage per minute recorded.

Tips on creating MP3 CDs
i
CDs, software and hardware for writing 
audio data to CDs are widely available. 
Therefore, we cannot guarantee that 
COMAND will be able to play every 
user-written CD.
i
Problems may be encountered during 
playback of user-written CDs with a 
storage capacity of more than 700 MB. 
These CDs do not meet valid standards 
as of this printing.
