Thanks in advance.

The contents of that folder are listed as parts of that track, again alphabetically by file name. Folder 1, song 1, would look like TR01-001 on the head unit; Folder 4, song 9, would look like TR04-009 on the head unit. To keep things simple I usually don't go more than one folder deep, though the head unit should play CDs like that. To keep things very simple all the folders, and the songs within them, are preceded by numbers on my CDs. For example, I just pulled this CD out of my head unit:

In the above example TR07-008 would be Rearviewmirror by Pearl Jam, TR04-005 would be Shine On You Crazy Diamond (Part 2) by Pink Floyd, and so on. Any questions?
