About MP3/ WMA
The music compression technology MP3
(MPEG1 Audio Layer 3) and WMA (Windows
Media Audio) significantly reduces the digital data
of an audio CD while maintaining CD quality
sound.
Windows Media Audio® is a registered
trademark of Microsoft Corporation.
Supported formats:
– Disc format ISO9660, Joliet, UDF (created on
Adaptec Direct CD v5.0 and Nero Burning
ROM UDF v5.5) and multi-session CDs

variable bit rate.
– 12-cm 650Mb and 700Mb CD-R/ CD-RWs
– Directory nesting up to a maximum of 8
levels
– WMA v7 or earlier (max. 192Kbps cbr)
The system will not play or support the
following:
• Empty albums: an empty album is an album
that does not contain MP3/WMA files, and will
not be shown in the display.
• Non-supported file formats are skipped. This
means that e.g.: Word documents .doc or MP3
files with extension .dlf are ignored and will not
be played.
• DRM protected WMA files
• WMA files in Lossless or VBR format

IMPORTANT!
– Make sure that the file names of MP3
files end with .mp3.
– For DRM protected WMA files, use
Windows Media Player 10 (or later) for
CD burning/conversion. Visit www.
microsoft.com for details about Windows
Media Player and WM DRM (Windows
