About MP3
The music compression technology MP3
(MPEG1 Audio Layer 3) significantly reduce
the digital data of an audio CD while main-
taining CD quality sound.
Getting MP3 files: you can either down-
load legal music files from the internet to
your computer hard disc, or create such files
by converting audio CD files in your com-
puter through appropriate encoder software.
(128kbps bit rate or higher is recommended
for MP3 files.)
Creating a MP3 CD: burn the music files
from your computer hard disc on a CDR or
CDRW using your CD burner.
Helpful hints:
– Make sure that the file names of the MP3
files end with .mp3.
– Total number of music files and albums: around
500
(with a typical file name length of 20
characters)
– The length of file names affects the number of
tracks for playback. With shorter file names,
more files can be burned on a disc.
