general information
mp3 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 12cm cd-rom.
how to get 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 an appropriate encoder
software. to achieve a good sound quality, a bit rate of 128 kbps or higher is
recommended for mp3 music files.
how to organize music 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-ONEWORLD.MP3
002-FIRESTARTER.MP3
003-DEEP.MP3
the albums will be arranged in alphabetical order. If albums are located in an album,
they will be played after this album. 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
with album number . various is the first album that will be played.
when playing a disc with cd audio tracks and mp3 files, the cd audio tracks will be
played first.
