[WMA]
≥You cannot play WMA files that are copy protected.
To create an MP3/WMA disc that can be 
played back on this unit on a personal 
computer
≥Formats that can be used are IS09660 level1 and level 2 (except 
extended format).
≥MP3 files must have the extension “.MP3” or “.mp3”.
≥WMA files must have the extension “.WMA” or “.wma”.
≥
 If you wish to play the tracks in your favorite order, add a number 
at the beginning of each file name corresponding to the desired 
play order (see Figure below).
(They may not be played back in the specified order.)
≥
 Finalize the disc after recording. A disc that is not finalized may 
not be played back.
≥This unit is compatible with multi-session (lpage 59) but if there 
are a lot of sessions it takes more time for play to start. Keep the 
number of sessions to a minimum to avoid this.
≥Depending on how you create MP3/WMA files, they may not play 
in the order you numbered them or may not play at all.
≥This unit cannot play files recorded using packet write.
