MP3 CD PLAYBACK

MP3 CD features
MP3 stands for MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3 and arises from the Motion Picture
Expert Group (MPEG) Standard which was developed for compressing film
data.
The MP3 format enables audio files to be saved on a computer with a sound
quality similar to that of a CD. This only requires approx. 10% of the original
data quantity. The standard encoding bit rate for MP3 files is 128 kbps. Gener-
ally, the higher the bit rate of a an MP3 file, the better the sound quality.
Most MP3 files on the Internet are encoded at 128 or 160 kbps.
160 kbps is considered CD quality.
MP3 files can be downloaded from the Internet and then burned onto a CD-
ROM disc. Your DVD player can read the ID3 tag from the file header, which
contains information on title and artist, and display this in the info menu/status
display.
MP3 CDs contain sound recordings. They can be played in the normal manner
on an audio system. The digital signals transmitted during MP3 playback are
PCM coded, regardless of the audio output setting. The signals are output with
the same data rate as the music source (possibilities are: 32 kbps – 320 kbps,
ideal: 128 kbps).
MP3 files can be organised in albums (directories) and files in a similar way to
directories and files on a computer.
