MP3/WMA 
playback
Tracks do not play back in the order you 
have intended them to play. The playback order is determined when the files are recorded.
The elapsed playing time is not correct. This sometimes occurs during playback. This is caused by how  the tracks are recorded on the disc.
The correct characters are not displayed 
(e.g. album name). This unit can only display letters (upper case), numbers, and a 
limited number of symbols.
