Choosing Text Displays  
The JOG menu has separate RDS text and DISC text

CD-ROM PLAY  
The Radio CD recognizes MP3 compressed audio files  
stored on a CD-ROM disc. You can create (or “burn”)  
your own CD-ROM compilation discs containing much  
more music than would fit on an audio CD. The Radio  
CD will also recognize folders at the top level of a CD-  
ROM and display their folder names. Use folders on a  
CD-ROM as a convenient way to select between differ-  
ent groups of music.  
The Radio CD recognizes a maximum of 99 tracks in  
any folder, or at the top level of a disc. The Radio CD  
will not recognize subfolders. The Radio CD will treat  
MP3 files inside subfolders as being inside the top  
level folder.  
Sequence of Play on a CD-ROM  
a) The Radio CD will first recognize any MP3 files  
stored on the top level of the CD-ROM. It will play  
those files "file name" sequence. The Radio CD will  
ignore any files that do not end in “.mp3.”  
b) After the Radio CD has played all MP3 files on the  
top level of the CD-ROM, it will then play the con-  
tents of any folders present on the CD-ROM in  
“file name” sequence.

c) If there are no “.mp3” audio files in the top level of the  
CD-ROM, the Radio CD will automatically play the  
contents of the first folder on the CD-ROM (according  
to the “folder name” sequence).  
Press Preset 4 during MP3 file play to briefly display  
the name of the active folder.  
d) Once all the contents of the first folder are played, the  
Radio CD will play the contents of any remaining fold-  
ers at the top level of the disc.  
e) The FOLDER + and FOLDER - buttons skip to the  
next or previous directory in sequence according to  
the folder names.  
f) The diagram on page 19 is an example of the auto-  
matic play sequence the Radio CD follows when  
playing the contents of a CD-ROM.  
Tips For Preparing An MP3 CD-ROM  
1) Start the title of each track or folder with a number to  
designate its sequence. Many CD-ROM recording  
programs support the automatic addition of sequence  
numbers to the start of each MP3 file name.  
2) The Radio CD treats numbers as text when determin-  
ing track and folder sequence. Use a leading zero on  
single digit numbers (01, 02, 03..,) if the total of your  
tracks or folders is ten or greater.  
3) The Radio CD supports a maximum of 99 tracks at  
the top level of a CD or within any folder at the top  
level of the CD-ROM.

CD-ROM PLAY  
Arranging MP3 Files and Folders on a CD-ROM  
a) Place only folders at the top level of your CD-ROM (no  
MP3 files). This lets you cycle through the folders using  
the FOLDER + and FOLDER - buttons in a similar manner  
to choosing discs in a multiple CD player.  
b) RIP (compress) your favorite tracks from an audio CD  
into a folder on your computer hard drive. Make sure the  
track titles start with numbers according to your desired  
track sequence.  
c) Repeat the procedure for other groups of compressed  
audio files you wish to store on the same CD-ROM,  
saving the files in separate folders on your hard drive.  
d) Use folder titles with a number at the start, in a sequence  
of your choice.  
e) “Burn” all the folders onto a CD-ROM at once.  
Once completed, you could have a CD-ROM with much  
more music than a conventional Audio CD. You can navigate  
through each folder simply by pressing the FOLDER + and  
FOLDER - buttons.
