files are recorded with the same bit rate as the original MP3/WMA
files.
While recording from an MP3/WMA disc, no sound is output and
"HI-SPEED" appears.
CD text information is not included in the MP3/WMA files.
If you cancel a recording before it is completed, an MP3/WMA file

If a folder to be erased contains non-MP3/WMA format files or sub
folders, these are not erased.
If a folder or file with the same name as the one you are trying to
record already exists on the USB device, a sequential number is
added after the name for the newly recorded folder or file to avoid
overwriting the existing one.
