MP3
files
• MP3 is short for MPEG Audio Layer 3 and
refers to an audio compression technology
standard.
• This product allows playback of MP3 files on
CD-ROM, CD-R and CD-RW discs. Disc
recordings compatible with ISO9660 level 1
and level 2 can be played back.
Correspondence to extended format is made
with the following conditions.
Joliet: Correspondence only to the 8.3
format.
Romeo: Correspondence to folder names with
up to 64 characters and file names
with up to 63 characters (including
the extension).
• Discs that have been recorded in multiple
recording sessions are replayed in their first
session form only.
• Files are compatible with the ID3 Tag Ver. 1.0
and Ver. 1.1 formats for display of album (disc
title), track (track title) and artist (track artist).
• Only when MP3 files of 32, 44.1 and 48 kHz
frequencies are played back, the emphasis
function is valid. (22.05, 24, 32, 44.1, 48 kHz
sampling frequencies can be played back.)
• MP3 files are not compatible with packet write
data transfer.
• There is no m3u playlist compatibility.
• There is no compatibility with the MP3i (MP3
interactive) or mp3PRO format.
Precaution:
• When naming an MP3 file, add the corresponding
filename extension (.mp3).
• This product plays back files with the filename
extension (.mp3) as an MP3 file. To prevent noise
and malfunctions, do not use this extension for files
other than MP3 files.
About folders and MP3 files
• An outline of a CD-ROM with MP3 files on it is
shown below. Subfolders are shown as fold-
ers in the folder currently selected. (In the
case shown, 01S is a subfolder of the 01 fold-
er.)
Note:
• The elapsed playback time for the data track of a
Mixed Mode CD will be displayed, but no sound will
be output. Only music tracks will be played back.
• It is not possible to check folders that do not
include MP3 files.
• MP3 files in up to 8 tiers of folders can be played
back. However, there is a delay in the start of play-
back on discs with numerous tiers. For this reason
we recommend creating discs with no more than 2
tiers.
