MP3 and WMA files
!
MP3 is short for MPEGAudio Layer 3 and
refers to an audio compression technology
standard.
!
WMA is short for Windows Media
"
Audio
and refers to an audio compression tech-
nology that is developed by Microsoft Cor-
poration. WMA data can be encoded by
using Windows Media Player version 7 or
later.
!
With some applications used to encode
WMA files, this unit may not operate cor-
rectly.
!
Depending on the version of Windows
Media Player used to encode WMA files,
album names and other text information
may not be correctly displayed.
!
This unit allows playback of MP3/WMA
files on CD-ROM, CD-R and CD-RW discs.
Disc recordings compatible with level 1
and level 2 of ISO9660 and with the Romeo
and Joliet file system can be played back.
!
It is possible to play back multi-session
compatible recorded discs.
!
MP3/WMA files are not compatible with
packet write data transfer.
!
The maximum number of characters which
can be displayed for a file name, including
the extension (.mp3 or .wma), is 64, from
the first character.
!
The maximum number of characters which
can be displayed for a folder name is 64.
!
In case of files recorded according to the
Romeo file system, only the first 64 charac-
ters can be displayed.
!
When playing discs with MP3/WMA files
and audio data (CD-DA) such as CD-EXTRA
and MIXED-MODE CDs, both types can be
played only by switching mode between
MP3/WMA and CD-DA.
!
The folder selection sequence for playback
and other operations becomes the writing
sequence used by the writing software. For
this reason, the expected sequence at the
time of playback may not coincide with the
actual playback sequence. However, there
also is some writing software which per-
mits setting of the playback order.
!
Some audio CDs contain tracks that merge
into one another without a pause. When
these discs are converted to MP3/WMA
files and burned to a CD-R/CD-RW/CD-
ROM, the files will be played back on this
player with a short pause between each
one, regardless of the length of the pause
between tracks on the original audio CD.
Important
!
When naming an MP3 or a WMA file, add the
corresponding filename extension (.mp3 or
.wma).
