GENERAL INFORMATION
General MP3 information
How to get music files
The music compression technology MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer 3) reduces the
digital data of an audio CD significantly while maintaining CD-like sound quality.
With MP3 you can record up to 10 hours of CD-like music on a single CD-RW.
How to organize music files
Either download legal music files from the Internet to your computer hard disc
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 appropriate encoder
software. To achieve good sound quality, a bit rate of 128 kbps or higher is
recommended for MP3 music files.
How to make a CD-ROM with MP3 files
In order to easily handle the large number of music files on a CD-ROM, you
can organize them in folders ("albums").
The tracks of an album will be played in alphabetical order. If you want to
arrange them in a certain order, let the file names start with numbers.
For example:
001-EWORLD.MP3
002-FIRESTARTER.MP3
003-DEEP.MP3
Albums will be arranged in alphabetical order, but subfolders (albums within
another album) will be played immediately after the album in which they are
located. Albums without MP3 files will be skipped.
If there are MP3 files which you did not put into an album, you will find them
in the album VARIOUS with album number 0. VARIOUS is the first album that
will be played.
General MP3 information
How to make a CD-ROM with MP3 files
