Cadillac 2010 DTS - Manual (Page 270)

MP3/WMA Format
If you burn your own MP3/WMA disc on a personal
computer:
. Make sure the MP3/WMA files are recorded on a
CD-R or CD-RW disc.
. Do not mix standard audio and MP3/WMA files on
one disc.
. The CD player is able to read and play a maximum
of 50 folders, 50 playlists, and 255 files.
. Create a folder structure that makes it easy to find
songs while driving. Organize songs by albums
using one folder for each album. Each folder or
album should contain 18 songs or less.
. Avoid subfolders. The system can support up to
8 subfolders deep, however, keep the total number
of folders to a minimum in order to reduce the
complexity and confusion in trying to locate a
particular folder during playback.
. Make sure playlists have a .m3u or .wpl extension
(other file extensions might not work).
. Minimize the length of the file, folder or playlist
names. Long file, folder, or playlist names, or a
combination of a large number of files and folders,
or playlists can cause the player to be unable to
play up to the maximum number of files, folders,
playlists, or sessions. If you wish to play a large
number of files, folders, playlists, or sessions,
minimize the length of the file, folder, or playlist
name. Long names also take up more space on
the display, potentially getting cut off.
. Finalize the audio disc before you burn it. Trying to
add music to an existing disc can cause the disc
not to function in the player.
Playlists can be changed by using the
S c
and
c T
folder buttons, the
a
knob, or the SEEK arrows.
An MP3/WMA CD-R or CD-RW that was recorded
using no file folders can also be played. If a CD-R or
CD-RW contains more than the maximum of 50 folders,
50 playlists, and 255 files, the player lets you access
and navigate up to the maximum, but all items over the
maximum cannot be accessed.
