M P3 Overview
Note on M 3
P
To enjoy high quality sound, we recommend converting to MP3 files with a sampling frequency of 44.1 kHz and a fixed bit rate of 128 kbps.
D O NOT store more than 256 M P3 files per disc.
For ISO 9660 - compliant format, the maximum allowable depth of nested folders is 8, including the root directory (folder).
When CD-R disc is used, playback is possible only for discs which have been finalized.
Make sure that when M P3 CD-R is burned that it is formatted as a data disc and NOT as an audio disc.
You should not write non-MP3 files or unneeded folders along with MP3 files on the CD-R otherwise it takes a long time
until the unit starts to play MP3 files.
With some CD-R media, data may not be properly written depending on their manufacturing quality .
In this case, data may not be reproduced correctly. High quality CD-R discs are recommended.
Up to 16 characters are displayed for the name of an Album or a Track. I D3TAG version 1.x is required.
Note that the unit may not play tracks in the order that you wrote them to the disc.
MP3 is the acronym
for MPEG Audio Layer 3 and refers to an audio compression technology standard.
This product allows playback of MP3 files on CD-ROM (CD-R or CD-RW discs).
The unit can read M 3 files written in the format compliant with ISO 9660.
However it does not support the M 3 data written by the method of packet write.
The unit can not read an M 3 file that has a file extension other than ".mp3 ".
If you play a non - M 3 file that has the " .mp3 " extension, you may hear some noise.
In this manual,we refer to what are called "M 3 file" and "folder " in PC terminology as "track" and "Album", respectively.
Maximum number of directory level is 8, including the root directory. Maximum number of files and folders per disc is 256 .
The unit may not play tracks in the order of track numbers.
The unit plays only the audio tracks if a disc contains both audio tracks and M 3 files.
When playing a disc of 8k bps or *VBR, the elapsed playing time in the display window will not be correct and also the intro
play may not function properly. *VBR: Variable Bit Rate.
