About MP3/ WMA
The music compression technology MP3
(MPEG1 Audio Layer 3) and WMA (Windows
Media Audio) significantly reduces the digital data
of an audio CD, while maintaining the sound
quality.
Windows Media Audio® is a registered
trademark of Microsoft Corporation.
Supported formats:
– Disc format ISO9660, Joliet, UDF (created on
Adaptec Direct CD v5.0 and Nero Burning ROM
UDF v5.5) and multi-session CDs
– MP3 bit rate (data rate): 32-320 Kbps and
variable bit rate.
– 12-cm 650Mb and 700Mb CD-R/ CD-RWs
– Directory nesting up to a maximum of 8 levels
– WMA v9 or earlier (max. 192Kbps cbr)
The system does not play or support the
following:
• Empty albums: an empty album is an album that
does not contain any MP3/WMA files, and hence
will not be shown on the display.
• Non-supported file formats are skipped.This
means that e.g. Word documents or MP3 files
with .doc and .dlf extension are ignored and will
not be played.
• DRM protected WMA files
• WMA files in Lossless or VBR format
Helpful hints:
– Make sure that MP3 files end with a .mp3.
extension, and WMA files end with a .wma
extension.
– For DRM protected WMA files, use Windows
Media Player 10 (or later) for CD burning/
conversion.Visit www. microsoft.com for details
about Windows Media Player and WM DRM
(Windows Media Digital Rights Management).
