Your downloaded song/files are for personal use only. Any other usage of the song without owners permission, is against the law.
About folder playback order
If MP3/WMA files are recorded in several folders, a folder number will be set to each folder automatically. These folders can be selected by the FOLDER button on the remote control. If there is no supported file formats inside the selected folder, the folder is skipped and the next folder will be selected. Example: How to set folder number if MP3/WMA format files are recorded as below figure. 1. ROOT folder is set as folder 1. 2. As for folders inside ROOT folder (Folder A and Folder B), the folder which is recorded earlier on the disc will be set as folder 2 and folder 3. 3. As for folder inside Folder A (Folder C and Folder D), the folder which is recorded earlier on the disc will be set as folder 4 and folder 5. 4. Folder E that is inside Folder D will be set as folder 6. The folder and file order information which is recorded on the disc depends on the writing software. There may be possibilities that this unit will play back the files not according to our expected playback order. For CD MP3/WMA, 512 numbers of folders and files inclusives of the folders with non playable files can be read.
Folder mode on/off can be operated by the FOLDER button on the remote control. Files that are played when folder mode is set to the on position, may differ from those played back when folder mode is turned off.
