CDs that contain compressed MP3 or Windows Media formatted audio (WMA) files
can store approximately 10 times as much music as a normal CDs. It is possible
to record up 10 hours of music in MP3/WMA format on a single disc.
Audio files may be downloaded from the Internet onto your computer’s hard drive
or ‘ripped’ from normal CDs. They are then compressed into MP3/WMA format
files by
software on your computer and recorded or ‘burned’ onto blank discs.
Typicall when making your own MP3/WMA CDs you will organize the song titles
into ‘Directories’, also called ‘Albums’, by artist, or by type of music.
NOTE :
Because MP3/WMA CDs contain so much more information than normal
CDs
this CD player will take longer to ‘Read’ all of te information on an MP3/WMA
disc.
You may see the flashing “
READ
” indicator for a
minute or more before playback begins. This is normal
and note an indication f any problem with your player.
Most of the normal CD operations described in this manual also apple to MP3/WMA
CDs. However there are a few differences in MP3/WMA CD playback functions,
and these are described on the following pages.
MP3/WMA CD “Reading” Time And Display Information
As mentioned above, because MP3/WMA CDs contain much more information
that normal CDs it takes longer for the player to ‘Read’ an MP3/WMA disc and
display
he Table of Contents information.
After you load an MP3/WMA CD in the player the player will read each of the
‘Directories’
(or ‘Albums’) on the disc, one at a time, and display the Directory
Number and the
cumulative number of tracks in the directories that have already
been read.
For example if we insert an MP3/WMA CD containing
11
‘Directories’ (or ‘Albums’)
and a total of
172
“files” or tracks, the display will show:
