About MP3

The music compression technology MP3
(MPEG1 Audio Layer 3) significantly reduce
the digital data of an audio CD while 
maintaining CD quality sound.

Getting MP3 files:

you can either download

legal music files from the internet to your
computer hard disc, or create such files by
converting audio CD files in your computer
through appropriate encoder software.
(128kbps bit rate or higher is recommended
for MP3 files.)

Creating an MP3 CD:

burn the music files

from your computer hard disc on a CDR or
CDRW using your CD burner.

Helpful Hints:

– 

Make sure that the file names of the MP3
files end with 

.mp3 

.

– 

Total number of music files and albums:
around 400 (with a typical file name length of
20 characters)

– 

The length of file names affects the number of
tracks for playback. With shorter file names,
more files can be burned on a disc.
