Displaying MP3/WMA/AAC Tag titles
Tag information (track title, artist name, and
album title) can be displayed for an MP3/WMA/
AAC file containing the Tag information.
This system supports the ID3 TAG version 1.x/
2.x and WMA-TAG.
Note:
• Tag information entered with 2-byte characters
may not be displayed properly on the display.
• The ID3 version 2.x tag format is not completely
supported. This system can display information up
to 60 bytes, and ignores the rest.
• Album titles of WMA-TAG may not be displayed
properly.
Precautions on the MP3/WMA/AAC
files
●General precautions
• Files other than MP3/WMA/AAC format cannot
be played. In addition, some files may not be
played because of the encoding settings.
When a file cannot be played, the next file is
played instead.
• Some noise may occur depending on the type
of encoder software used to encode the data.
• You can apply the VBR (Variable Bit Rate)
format when encoding. In this case, the
displayed play time may be slightly different
from the actual play time.
• Files that the DRM (Digital Rights
Management) function is set cannot be played.
●For MP3 files
• Set the Sampling Frequency to:
• MPEG1 Layer3: 32, 44.1, or 48 kHz
• MPEG2 Layer3: 16, 22.05, or 24 kHz
• MPEG2.5 Layer3: 8, 11.025, or 12 kHz
• Set the Bit Rate to:
• MPEG1 Layer3: 32 to 320 kbps (VBR)
• MPEG2 Layer3: 8 to 160 kbps (VBR)
• MPEG2.5 Layer3: 8 to 160 kbps (VBR)
• Add a file extension ".MP3" or ".mp3" using
single byte characters.
●For WMA files
• Set the Sampling Frequency to within ranges
from 22.05 to 44.1 kHz.
• Set the Bit Rate to 48, 64, 80, 96, 128, 160, or
192 kbps.
• Add a file extension ".WMA" or ".wma" using
single byte characters.
●For AAC files
• This system supports only the MPEG4 Audio
files encoded by the iTunes.
• Set the Sampling Frequency to 44.1 or 48 kHz.
• Set the Bit Rate to within ranges from 16 to 320
kbps (VBR).
• Add a file extension ".M4A" or ".m4a" using
single byte characters.
Precautions when preparing a disc
Note:
• For details of the DivX file mentioned below, see
"DivX Operations" (page 33).
●Logical format (File system)
The following writing formats are available when
writing MP3/WMA/AAC/DivX files on a disc:
• For CD-R/RW: ISO9660 level 1/level 2,
Romeo, Joliet, or Apple ISO (without including
expansion format)
• For DVD±R/RW: UDF (Universal Disk Format)
●Folder structure
• The folder hierarchy must be within 8
hierarchical levels. Otherwise, playback will be
impossible.
• You can store the MP3 files, WMA files, and
AAC files together in a disc or folder.
• You can also store the MP3/WMA/AAC files
and DivX files together in a disc or folder. In
such a case, you can select whether the disc is
regarded as an MP3/WMA/AAC disc or as a
DivX disc. See "Setting the Playform of discs
recorded with DivX files" (page 33).
●Number of files or folders
• The maximum allowable number of folders is
255 (including root directory).
• The maximum allowable number of files in a
folder is 255.
●Folder representation in the folder list
• Only folders containing MP3/WMA/AAC files or
DivX files (1 to 4 in illustration) are displayed
on the list. Folders containing no MP3/WMA/
AAC/DivX file are not displayed.
• Folder hierarchy (1 to 4 in illustration) is
ignored, and unified into one level.
• Folders are arranged in the order of the folder
creation.
