The playback order of MP3 audio tracks
The playback order of albums and tracks 
recorded on a DATA CD is as follows.
◆Structure of disc contents

When you insert a DATA CD and press H, 
the numbered tracks are played sequentially, 
from 

1

 through 

7

. Any sub-albums/tracks 

contained within a currently selected album 
take priority over the next album in the same 
tree. (Example: C contains D so 

4

 is played 

before 

5

.)

When you press MENU and the list of MP3 
albums appears (page 34), the albums are 
arranged in the following order: A 

t B t 

C

 

t D t F t G. Albums that do not 

contain tracks (such as album E) do not 
appear in the list.

z

• If you add numbers (01, 02, 03, etc.) to the front 

of the track names, the tracks will be played in 
that order.

• Since a disc with many trees takes longer to start 

playback, it is recommended that you create the 
albums no more than two trees.

• Depending on the software you use to create the 

DATA CD, the playback order may differ from 
the illustration above.

• The playback order above may not be applicable 

if there are more than a total of 999 albums and 
tracks in the DATA CD.

• The player can recognize up to 499 albums (the 

player will count just albums, including albums 
that do not contain MP3 audio tracks). The player 
will not play any albums beyond the first 499 
albums. Of the first 499 albums, the player will 
play no more than a combined total of 999 albums 
and tracks.
