WHAT IS MP3 ?

- MP3 (MPEG 2, layer 3) is a digital fi le format for audio (music).
- You can download MP3 songs from many websites on the internet (please observe the
copyright regulations of your country).
- MP3 songs are much smaller in memory size compared with normal CD-audio format
songs. This is called "compression" & it allows much more recording time on a standard
CD than the normal 74 minutes (for normal CD-audio).
- The exact length of recording time depends on the "compression rate" of the MP3 song
you have downloaded.
- Compression rate is specifi ed in "kbps" (kilobits per second). For example : "128 kbps":
the higher this number, the bigger the MP3 fi le size (the better the sound quality) and the
lower the recording time on a CD-R. Normally based on 128 kbps, you should have approx.
250-300 Minutes of recording time on a CD-R.
- MP3 songs can be recorded with some "text information" as part of the same fi le. It consists
of (among other details:)
- File name (song name)
- Artist name
- There are basically 2 ways to make an MP3-CD with your favorite songs :
- Download MP3 songs from internet & burn them on a CD-R disc on your computer.
- Convert CD-audio fi les (from a normal music CD) onto your computer into MP3
format, using a kind software called "CD-ripper". (Which is freeware/shareware on
internet).
