MP3 CD PLAYBACK
CDs that contain compressed MP3 audio files can store approximately 10 times
as much music as a normal CDs. It is possible to record up to 10 hours of music in
MP3 format on a single disc.
Audio files may be downloaded from the Internet onto your computer’s hard drive
or ‘ripped’ from normal CDs. They are then compressed into MP3 format files by
software on your computer and recorded or ‘burned’ onto blank discs.
Typically when making your own MP3 CDs you will organize the song titles into
‘Directories’, also called ‘Albums’, by artist, or by type of music. The software in
this CD player can recognize up to 99 ‘Directories’ containing up to a total of 300
“files” or tracks.
NOTE:
Because MP3 CDs contain so much more information than normal CDs
this CD player will take longer to ‘Read’ all of the information on an MP3 disc after
you press the
PLAY/PAUSE
button. You may see the “
READING
” indicator for a
minute or more before playback begins. This is normal and not an indication of any
problem with your player.
Most of the normal CD operations described in this manual also apply to MP3 CDs.
However there are a few differences in MP3 CD playback functions, and these are
described on the following pages.
