MP3 fi les
MP3 (an abbreviation of MPEG 2, LAYER 3) is a digital fi le format
for music. You can download MP3 songs from many web sites.
However, there are copyright regulations which have to be observed.
MP3 songs are much smaller in memory size than normal songs on CD's.
That is because they are compressed. The process of compression loses
some of the sound quality of the song, but does enable more recording
time on a standard CD than the normal 70-80 minutes. The fi le size (in
kilobytes) which a song can be reduced to depends on the length of
the original track and the 'compression rate'. Compression rates are
described in kbps (kilobytes per second).
The most common compression rates used are 64kbps, 96kbps,
128kbps (this is the normal MP3 rate), 160kbps and 192kbps.
The higher the number, the better the quality. Based on 128kbps you
should be able to store 250-300 minutes of recording on a CD-R. MP3
songs can be recorded with some text information (called ID3 tags) as
part of the same fi le. The text usually includes the song title and artists
name. There are two ways to make an MP3 CD.
Download MP3 songs from the internet and save them on a CD-R.
Convert your existing music CD's using a piece of software on your USB
drive, called a CD ripper. CD rippers can usually be found as freeware
or shareware on the internet.
Connecting a turntable, keyboard or other device
The System has two sockets on its side, labelled AUX LINE IN, Right and
Left. The AUX sockets should be used if you want to connect a piece of
auxiliary equipment to the System. For instance you may want to connect
a turntable, for playing vinyl records, or a piano keyboard. Use a standard
RCA cable from the other device to the AUX sockets and select AUX,
using the FUNCTION button.
