Oldest not support directories at all, for example Philips AZ1100 radio MP3 CD player. Newer radios support folders and subfolders usually 6-8 level but not always playlists (.m3u files) but plays them in alpaphetical older. I write small programm for file numbering. At least some newest players support also playlists and other audio file formats like Windows Media, MP3pro and disk formats like UDF. > > Also with more CD players playing mp3's, what is the standard for the > layout of files and directories for these players to work with burned CD's? > As you already understand - no standard at moment.
