ABOUT THE SONG FOLDERS AND FILES
EXAMPLE FOLDERS AND THE FILES WITHIN A FOLDER
Folder names can only be
a two digit number from
01 to 99.

Each folder can have up to 255 song files.
The file format types can be either MP3 or WAV.
The first three numeric digits of the filename
identify the song number position and must be
in sequential order starting with 001 and up to
the maximum of 255. Although, some wallboxes
would only select up to 200, the AutoPlay feature
will select up to the number of available songs.
Any folder, containing song files, can be assigned for Wallbox and/or AutoPlay selections. The folder name itself, is limited
to only two numeric digits 01 to 99. Each song filename, within the folder, starts with the first three numeric digits 001 to 255
and ends with the last four character extension type, such as ".MP3" or ".WAV".
The player supports two Media File format types
MP3 (MPEG-1 Layer 3) Compressed format, Bit Rates 32 to 320 kbps (Much smaller files ~ 75-95%)
WAV (Waveform Audio Format) An uncompressed audio format developed by Microsoft and IBM.
The examples below show the file size differences between the formats
001-Rock around the clock.mp3
2,065 KB MP3 Format Sound
(@ 128 kbps, Near CD Qual)
002-Rock around the clock.mp3
3,098 KB MP3 Format Sound
(@ 192 kbps, CD Quality)
003-Rock around the clock.mp3
5,163 KB MP3 Format Sound
(@ 320 kbps, Max bit rate)
004-Rock around the clock.wav
22,751 KB Wave Sound
(PCM, 44 kHz, 2 Ch, 16-bit)
To create the MP3 song files from your CD you would use a program to "Rip" the CD tracks to MP3. Windows Media
Player can be used but make sure, in the Options menu, that the Format is set for MP3 (not WMA). There are many other
rippers, such as one by www.poikosoft.com, that will automatically insert the track numbers and song names.
Another consideration is the bit rate. The bit rate is similar to the resolution of a photo, lower resolution will produce a fuzzy
image. For music, bit rates below 128Kbps may start to sound grainy. You can't tell much of a difference using the
maximum bit rate of 320Kbps other than larger file sizes. Many agree that the bit rate of 192Kbps is very close to CD quality
(as we recommend).
