ABOUT MP3/ WMA
MP3/ WMA music files
The music compression technology MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer 3) and WMA
(Windows Media Audio) reduces the digital data of an audio CD significantly
while maintaining CD-like sound quality. With MP3/ WMA you can record up to
10 hours of CD-like music on a single CD-ROM.
How to get music files
Either download legal music files from the internet to your computer hard disk
or create them from your own audio CDs. For this, insert an audio CD into
your computer´s CD-ROM drive and convert the music using an appropriate
encoder software. To achieve a good sound quality, a bit rate of 128 kbps is
recommended for MP3 music files, and 96 kbps for WMA files.
How to make a CD-ROM with MP3/ WMA files
Burn the music files from your computer hard disc on CDR or CDRW using your CD
burner. For more information, you can use the by-packed EXPANIUM CD-ROM (free
MUSICMATCH Jukebox
software) to create your own MP3 CD.
Helpful Hint:
– Make sure that the file names of the MP3 files end with .mp3 and WMA files
and with .wma.
– Total number of music files and albums: around 500
– For more information on creating music files, please check out the free
MUSICMATCH Jukebox
software on the by-packed CD-ROM.
– Make sure your WMA files are not protected.
