Saving and naming MP3 files
• Your MACH MP3 music system supports discs containing up to 255
files in 255 directories. Discs containing more than 255 files will not
play.
• Always save MP3 files with the .mp3 extension. The player recognizes
an MP3 file by the .mp3 extension, so MP3 files saved with different
extensions will not be played. Never save a non-MP3 file with the
.mp3 extension as the file will not play properly and damage
may occur to the player or your sound system.
• The player supports multi session discs. However, be sure to import
the previous session of the disc before you add new files. If you do not
import the previous session, only the last session will be played.
• When burning a disc, ensure that you close/finalize the disc before
playback, or the disc may not play properly or an error message may
appear.
• The player supports DAM (Digital Automatic Music) discs.
Sample hierarchies
If you are burning your own MP3
discs, it is important to understand
how the MACH MP3 music system
will read the hierarchies you create.
This is an example of creating a
directory structure that is one level
deep with various types of music.
While various files are present, (files
with extensions other than mp3),
only files with the .mp3 extension
will be played. Other files will be
ignored by the system. This enables
you to use the same MP3 disc for a
variety of tasks on your work
computer, home computer and your
MACH MP3 music system.
