ABOUT MP3/ WMA
The music compression technology MP3 (MPEG1 Audio Layer 3) and WMA
(Windows Media Audio) significantly reduce the digital data of an audio CD while
maintaining CD quality sound.
•
Getting MP3/WMA 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 is
recommended for MP3 files and 96 kbps bit rate for WMA files.)
•
Creating a MP3/WMA CD:
burn the music files from your computer hard
disc on a CDR or CDRW using your CD burner.
Helpful Hint:
– Make sure that the file names of the MP3 files end with .mp3 and WMA files
and with .wma.
– Total number of music files and albums: around 350 (with a typical file length
of 20 characters)
– The length of file names affects the number of tracks for playback. With short-
er file names, more files can be burned on a disc.
