ID3 Tag Version 2
The following occurs when an MP3 file
containing ID3 tag ver.2 is played:
When skipping a portion of ID3 •
tag ver.2 (at the beginning of the
track), sound is not output. Skip
time changes depending ID3 tag
ver.2 capacity. Example: At 64
kbytes, it is about 2 seconds (with
RealJukebox).
The displayed elapsed playing time •
when skipping a portion of ID3 tag
ver.2 is inaccurate. For MP3 files of
a bit rate other than 128 kbps, time
is not displayed accurately during
playback.
When an MP3 file is created •
with MP3 conversion software
(e.g. RealJukebox - a registered
trademark of RealNetworks Inc), ID3
ver.2 will automatically be written.
MP3 navigation
MP3 tracks may be recorded on the CD
in several ways. They can all be placed
in the root directory like a conventional
audio CD, or they can be placed in
folders that may represent, for example,
an album, an artist, or a genre.
The normal playing sequence on CDs
with multiple folders is to play the tracks
in the first folder, then the tracks in any
folder(s) nested inside the first folder,
then move onto the second folder, and
so forth. For example, if folder 1 has
folders 1a and 1b within it, and folder 2
contains folder 2a, the playing sequence
will be folder 1, 1a, 1b, 2, 2a.
Press the up/down arrow buttons to •
select another folder.
Press the left/right arrow buttons to •
select another track (file) within the
folder.
MP3 DISPLAY OPTIONS
When an MP3 disc is playing, certain
information encoded in each track
can be displayed. Such information will
normally include:
The file name •
The folder name •
ID3 information which might be the •
album or artist’s name
The unit will normally show the file name
that is playing. To select one of the other
items of information:
Press the INFO button repeatedly •
until the display required is shown.
If the ID3 information selected is •
unavailable, ‘NO MP3 TAG’ appears
in the display.
CD text display options
When an audio disc with CD text is
playing, limited information encoded
in each track can be displayed. Such
information will normally include:
The disc name •
The artist name •
The track name •
These display options are selected in the
same way as MP3 displays. ‘NO DISC
NAME’ or ‘NO TRACK NAME’ appears if
no information has been encoded.
