GENERAL NOTES ON MP3/WMA CDs
AUDIO / VIDEO
WHAT IS THE MP3/WMA FILE FORMAT?
MP3 is the abbreviation of MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3 and
MPG is the abbreviation of Motion Pictures Experts
Group, a digital video data compression standard used on media
such as video CDs.
The MP3 compression reduces the number of bytes in a song by
eliminating the long sound waves in the range of frequencies which
are imperceptible to the human ear, so producing high quality audio
fi
les with a low volume of data.
This compression divides the size of the content of a conventional
audio CD by approximately 10, which means that the content of
10 audio CDs can be recorded onto a single CD-R or CD-RW.
WMA is the abbreviation of Windows Media Audio, another audio
data compression standard offered by Microsoft.
It can be used to create and save audio
fi
les at a compression rate
higher than that of the MP3 format.
ACCEPTANCE OF THE FILES
Some blank CDs may not be played by your equipment (quality,
recording speed...).
When you burn a CD-R or CD-RW, select the ISO 9660 level 1.2 or
Joliet burning standard.
To obtain the best acoustic quality possible, select the lowest
burning speed.

Transmission speeds between 32 and 320 kbits/s and scans
between 16 kHz and 48 kHz are accepted.
