MP3 FILE PLAYBACK
MP3 (MPEG 1 Audio Layer-3) is a
standard technology and format for
compressing audio data. This allows a
more efficient use of the media.
You can play MP3 files recorded on
CD-ROMs, CD-Rs, and CD-RWs. The disc
must be in the ISO 9660 level 1 or level 2
format, or Joliet or Romeo in the
expansion format. You can also use a disc
recorded in Multi Session.
ISO 9660 format
This is the most common international
standard for the logical format of files and
folders on a CD-ROM.
There are several specification levels. In
Level 1, file names must be in the 8.3
format (no more than 8 characters in the
name, no more than 3 characters in the
extension ".MP3") and in capital letters.
Folder names can be no longer than 8
characters. There can be no more than
8 folder levels (trees). Level 2
specifications allow file names up to 31
characters long.
Each folder can have up to 8 trees.
For Joliet or Romeo in the expansion
format, please consider these restrictions
when configuring your CD writing
software.
Multi session
This is a recording method that enables
adding of data using the Track-At-Once
method.
Conventional CDs begin at a CD control
area called the Lead-in and end at an area
called Lead-out. A Multi Session CD is a
CD having multiple sessions, with each
segment from Lead-in to Lead-out
regarded as a single session.
