File Compatibility
The following provides a detailed outline of the various parameters and
specifications for the types of audio files that the 8TraXX is capable of playing. In
general, the 8TraXX can play MP3 files at any of the popular bitrates or resolutions.
All features specified for Layer III in ISO/IEC 11172-3 (MPEG 1
Audio)
All features specified for Layer III in ISO/IEC 13838-3.2 (MPEG
2 Audio)
Lower sampling frequency extension, (not specified by ISO) called
MPEG 2.5
Decodes Layer III Stereo Channels, Dual Channel, Single Channel
(Mono)
Supports all the MPEG 1 and 2 sampling frequencies and the
extension to MPEG 2.5 including: 48, 44.1, 32, 24, 22.05, 16,
12, 11.025, 8 KHz.
Accepts MPEG 2.5 Layer III (MP3) elementary compressed
bitstreams with data rate from 8Kbits/s up to 320 kbit/s, and
also variable bitrate files up to 320kbits/s.
Note : A few software encoders generate large MP3 data packet sizes, where many
bytes of data appear between sequence headers. For best results and quick file
seaming (skipping between files on one track), make sure that your encoder places
sequence headers at least every 512 bytes. Otherwise there may be an unacceptable
playback response when skipping between files on a single track.
