Tom's right. I use Windows 2000 with NTFS. I store my MP3s on an
NTFS-formatted hard disk. When I go to burn a CD, though, the burner program (Nero is what came with my CD/RW drive; Roxio, Adaptec are other names you might recognize) reads the files from NTFS and puts 'em on CD in IS09660 format. My Pioneer 5500MP reads 'em just fine. There's a number of options and extensions to the ISO9660 format--Joliet, Romeo, Mode 1, Mode 2, multisession, etc. Most MP3 players handle all these options without any problem.

More specifically I think most head units prefer cd's that are burned in the ISO9660 format. I know my alpine specifies not only the type of cd but also the length of the filename and what characters are allowed. The manual says it will play other cd formats such as Joliet and Romeo but there is no guarantee that the file / folder names will display properly. If I were you I would assume that the only characters you can use in your file names are A to Z in all caps, 0 to 9, the _ underscore character, and the space character. The ISO9660 standard says that the maximum nested folder depth is 8 including the root, file/folder names are limited to 31 characters including the extension. You can look in your cd-burning software's preferences or options on how to burn a disc to a specific cd standard (ISO9660, Joliet, Romeo, etc). Also look in the help file as it will usually explain these different formats for you. -Tom "CapnGimp" wrote in message om...
