About MP3
CAUTION
Except for personal enjoyment, duplicating audio data (including
MP3 data) or distributing, transferring, or copying it, whether for
free or for a fee, without the permission of the copyright holder is
strictly prohibited by the Copyright Act and by international treaty.
What is MP3?
MP3, whose official name is “MPEG Audio Layer 3,” is a
compression standard prescribed by the ISO, the International
Standardization Organization and MPEG which is a joint
activity institution of the IEC.
MP3 files contain compressed audio data. MP3 encoding is
capable of compressing the audio data at extremely high
ratios shrinking music files by as much as one-tenth their
original size. This is achieved while still maintaining near CD
quality. The MP3 format realizes such high compression ratios
by eliminating the sounds that are either inaudible to the
human ear or masked by other sounds.
Method for creating MP3 files
The software used to create MP3 files is widely sold or free
from various sources. For details on creating MP3 files, refer to
the user's manual for that software.
The MP3 files that can be played back by this device have the
file extension “mp3.” Files with no extension can not be played
back.
Supported playback sampling rates and bit rates
Sampling rates: 32 kHz - 48 kHz, bit rates: 32 - 320 kbps
Note that for sampling rates such as 22.05 kHz, this device
may not display correctly.
ID3 tags
This device supports ID3 tag v1.
If ID3 tag data is in an MP3 file, this device can display the
title (track title), artist name, and album name ID3 tag data.
This device can only display single-byte alphanumeric
characters and the underscore.
Producing MP3 discs
MP3 files are prepared, then written to a CD-R or CD-RW
using CD-R writing software. A disc can hold up to 510 files/
folders (including Root Folders).
Media supported
The media that this device can play back are CD-ROMs, CD-
Rs, and CD-RWs.
Corresponding File Systems
This device supports discs formatted with ISO9660 Level 1 or
Level 2.
Under the ISO9660 standard,
there are some restrictions to remember.
The maximum nested folder depth is 8 (including the root
directory). File/folder names are limited to 30 characters
(including the extension).
Valid characters for folder/file names are letters A-Z (all
caps), numbers 0-9, and ‘_’ (underscore).
This device also can play back discs in Joliet, and other
standards that conform to ISO9660. However, sometimes the
file names, folder names, etc., are not displayed correctly.
