What is MP3/WMA?
MP3 (MPEG1/2 Audio Layer-III) and WMA
(Windows MediaTM Audio) are the com-
pression formats of digital audio. The
former is developed by MPEG (Motion Pic-
ture Experts Group), and the latter is
developed by Microsoft Corporation. Using
these compression formats, you can
record the contents of about 10 music CDs
on a single CD media (This figures refer to
data recorded on a 650 MB CD-R or CD-
RW at a fixed bit rate of 128 kbps and a
sampling frequency of 44.1 kHz).
Points to remember when making MP3/
WMA files
Common
• High bit rate and high sampling fre-
quency are recommended for high qual-
ity sounds.
• Selecting VBR (Variable Bit Rate) is not
recommended because playing time is
not displayed properly and sound may
be skipped.
• The playback sound quality differs
depending on the encoding circum-
stances. For details, refer to the user
manual of your own encoding software
and writing software.
MP3
• It is recommended to set the bit rate to
“128 kbps or more” and “fixed”.
WMA
• It is recommended to set the bit rate to
“64 kbps or more” and “fixed”.
• Do not set the copy protect attribute on
the WMA file to enable this unit to play
back.
NOTE:
Never assign the “.mp3”, or “.wma” file
name extension to a file that is not in the
MP3/WMA format. This may not only pro-
duce noise from the speaker damage, but
also damage your hearing.
Recording MP3/WMA files on a CD-
media
• You are recommended to minimize the
chances of making a disc that contains
both CD-DA files and MP3/WMA files.
• If CD-DA files are on the same disc as
MP3 or WMA files, the songs may not
play in the intended order, or some
songs may not play at all.
• When storing MP3 data and WMA data
on the same disc, use different folders
for each data.
• Do not record files other than MP3/WMA
files and unnecessary folder on a disc.
• The name of an MP3/WMA file should
be added by rules as shown in the fol-
lowing descriptions and also comply with
the rules of each file system.
• The file extension “.mp3” or “.wma”
should be assigned to each file depend-
ing on the file format.
• You may encounter trouble in playing
MP3/WMA files or displaying the infor-
mation of MP3/WMA files recorded with
certain writing software or CD recorders.
• This unit does not have a play list func-
tion.
• Although Multi-session recording is sup-
ported, the use of Disc-at-Once is rec-
ommended.
