Notes on creating MP3 discs
When converting audio data to MP3, create MP3 files with a sampling frequency of 44.1 kHz and a fixed bit rate of 128 Kbps.
When creating MP3 discs, do not store more than 900 albums and/or tracks in a disc.
To play tracks in the order they were recorded, ensure your encoding software is set up to auto arrange by name, or use only one album (if they are
already alphabetized) or place a three digit number in front of each track to set an order manually.

MP3 Glossary

File Extension - A 3-character string added to a file name under the Windows or DOS environment is called a "file extension". A file extension is used
mainly to identify types of files. The file extension for MP3 files is ".mp3".
ISO 9660 - ISO stands for the "International Organization for Standardization". ISO 9660 determines the file structure for CD-ROMs. This unit can play
MP3 files recorded in the format compliant with ISO 9660.
Nesting of folders (albums) - To organize all your data files stored in a PC, you can store related files in a folder. A folder can contain other folders as
well as files. For example, FOLDER A can contain FOLDER B (as well as files) and FOLDER B can contain FOLDER C (as well as other files).
Session - A session is one uninterrupted section of written data on a disc. A multi-session disc is a disc that has more than two sessions.
