7.3.1 Restrictions on MP3 files
When using the Plextalk to play MP3 files, keep in mind the following restrictions.
Item Restrictions
Bit rate Supports bit rate about MPEG1 Layer 3 from 32kbps to
320kbps, and MPEG2 Layer 3 from 8kbps to 160kbps.

Files Up to 1,022 files can be contained in a folder. Files in
excess of 1,022 are not recognized.
File name should not contain up to two priod.
Folders One folder becomes an album. The Plextalk recognizes up
to 8 hierarchies and 254 folders, including a root folder.
Folders in excess of that are not recognized. When there is
large number of folders, the Plextalk may take longer to
read the CD information.
Write method The Plextalk recognizes the CD that written by “Disc-At-
Once”, “Track-At-Once”, and “Packet Writing (only after
finalized)” methods.
The Plextalk cannot guide the information of ID3 Tag, folder names, and file
names because there is no speech synthesizer (text to speech processor).
You can play back MP3 files in your PC Card but not allows to add recording or
editing. Playback format is only MP3.
