folders per disc is 256.

When playing a disc of 8 kbps or “VBR”, the elapsed playing time in the display window will not be
correct and also the intro play may not function properly. “VBR”: Variable Bit Rate.

This unit is capable of displaying the text information (ID3 tag) of an MP3 track on the display. During
