Listening to an MP3
This unit is a ID3 Tag compatible model.
This unit supports the title, artist and album
display of the ID3 Tag versions 1 and 1.1.
After disc loading, the play mode is
automatically engaged.
What is MP3?
MP3 is an audio compression method and
classified into audio layer 3 of MPEG standards.
This audio compression method has penetrated
into PC users and become a standard format.
This MP3 features the original audio data
compression to about 10 percent of its initial
size with a high sound quality. This means that
about 10 music CDs can be recorded on a CD-
R disc or CD-RW disc to allow a long listening
time without having to change CDs.
Note:
• Some CDs recorded on CD-R mode may not be
usable.
Precautions when creating an MP3 disc
●
File extensions
1. Always add a file extension “
.MP3
” or “
.mp3
”
to an MP3 file by using single byte letters. If
you add a file extension other than specified
or forget to add the file extension “
.MP3
” or
“
.mp3
”, the file cannot be played. In addition,
if you use upper case and lower case letters
(capital and small letters) mixedly for file
extensions, normal play may not be possible.
2. Files without MP3 data will not play.
●
Logical format (File system)
1. When writing an MP3 file on a CD-R disc,
please select “
ISO9660 level 1 or level 2
(without including expansion format)
” as
the writing software format. Normal playback
may not be possible if the disc is recorded on
another format.
2. The folder name and filename can be
displayed as the title during MP3 play but the
title must be within 31 and 27 single byte
alphabetical letters and numerals for the
folder name and filename, respectively
(without including an extension). Entering
more letters or numerals than specified may
cause an incorrect display.
●
Folder structure
1. A disc with a folder having more than 8
hierarchical levels will conflict with the
ISO9660 and playback will be impossible.
●
Number of files or folders
1. A total of 255 files and folders are allowed.
(However, the maximum number of folders
must be within 254.) When the number of files
and folders is more than 256, playback of
tracks in excess of that number is impossible.
2. Tracks are played in the order that they were
recorded onto a disc. (Tracks might not
always be played in the order displayed on
the PC.)
• Some noise may occur depending on the
type of encoder software used while
recording.
• Files created using LAME (Lame Aint MP3
Encoder) may not be played properly.
• In case of a track recorded at VBR
(variable bit rate), the display for the play
time of the track may be slightly different
from the actual play time. Also, the
recommended value of VBR ranges from
64 kbps to 320 kbps.
• Depending on the damage conditions of a
file, it may occur that the file is not played
and the next file is played instead. Also, if
the damage is in a severe condition, play
stops showing the “
DISC ERROR
” display.
After disc selection, the play mode is
automatically engaged.
Note:
• If ID3 Tag information was entered with 2-byte
characters, it may occur that the characters are
not reproduced properly on the display.
