Writing utilities
There are 3 utilities used to record data on a
disc.
1 DAO (Disc At Once) utility
All data to be written must be prepared in
advance and written to a disc from the
beginning to the end in one operation. No
data can be added to a disc on which data
were already written with the DAO utility.
2 TAO (Track At Once) utility
Data are written to a disc track by track.
Data can be added to a disc on which
data were written with the TAO utility.
3 Packet-writing utility
Tracks are divided into smaller pieces
while being recorded, depending on the
size of available spaces on a disc. Data
can be added to a disc on which data
were written with packet-writing utility.
This unit can play MP3 discs recorded using
DAO and TAO utilities.
ISO 9660
ISO stands for the “International Organization
for Standardization.” ISO 9660 determines
the file structure for CD-ROMs. This unit can
play MP3 files recorded in formats compliant
with ISO 9660.
Nesting of folders (albums)
To organize data files stored on a PC, you
can store related files in a folder. A folder can
contain other folders as well as files. For
example, folder A can contain folder B, and
folder B can contain folder C. This is called
“nesting” of folders. The maximum depth of
nesting allowed under ISO 9660 is 8.
Filename extension
A 3-character string added to a filename
under a Windows or DOS environment is
called a “filename extension.” A filename
extension is used mainly to identify types of
files. The filename extension for MP3 files is
“.mp3.”
