4. Click on the
Removable Disk (I):
and you should now have an open folder, this is also known as the Root Folder.
5. At this point Music can be added to the SD Card or USB Thumb-Drive. You will need to locate your MP3 or WMA files on your com-
puter.
6. To transfer music files from your computer to the SD Card or USB Thumb-Drive, drag and drop at least one track into this main root
folder. This main root folder must contain at least one MP3 file/track or the JMDM-GL18B will not play. This main root folder will be dis-
played as CD 1.7. For a more complex method of arranging and playing your music, move your music to the SD Card or USB Thumb-
Drive into specific folders. This main folder is called the Root folder and MUST CONTAIN AT LEAST ONE MP3 FILE OR THE JMDM-GL18
WLL NOT PLAY ANY MUSIC. NOTE: This main folder will be displayed as CD 1.
Additional folders can now be added to the root folder by clicking on
(Top-Left) File
, then
New
, then
Folder.
For the 2001-2005 GL-1800, it usually works best to limit the # of folders to 5, plus the root, with no more than 45 files/tracks per
folder, using a 4Gb (max) SD card.
2006-2010 GL-1800s will support up to 8 folders, plus the root and up to 99 files/tracks per folder, using an SD card up to 8Gb in
size.
These folders can be named as you choose but these names will not display on the Honda Radio, only the CD Disk number will be
displayed. The MP3 files and folders will play in the actual order you have added them to the SD Card or USB thumb-drive, not by the
track number itself.
Here is an example of five folders with three MP3 files/tracks in the main root folder, as per the included SD card.
