MP3.
In addition, it may take time for the unit to move to the next MP3 file or
a Track Search or Album Search may not be performed smoothly.
Loading such a medium may produce loud noise to damage the speakers.

When selected for play, Track Search, or for Folder Search, files and
folders are accessed in the order in which they were written by the CD
writer.
Because of this, the order in which they are expected to be played may
not match the order in which they are actually played. You may be able
to set the order in which MP3 are to be played by writing them onto a
medium such as a CD-R with their file names beginning with play
sequence numbers such as "01" to "99", depending on your CD writer.
For example, a medium with the following folder/ file hierarchy is
subject to Track Search, or Folder Search as shown below.
When a Track Search is executed with file ¡$ being played ...
When Folder Search is selected with file ¡$ being played to move
from folder to folder ...
(Press the
6 button to stop the playback and then to carry out
Folder search.)
