Using an MP3
Format
Radios that have the capability of playing MP3’s can
play .mp3 files that were recorded onto a CD-R or
CD-RW disc. Radios that have a USB port can play .mp3
and .wma files that are stored on a USB storage device
as well as AAC files that are stored on an iPod

The radio can play discs that contain both
uncompressed CD audio and MP3 files.
Radios with a single CD player read all MP3 files first,

audio files.
