3) Change Song Title Tag Function:
Use this option if you are changing the Song Title ID3 tag.
Enter new Title name. Follow same steps as outlined above.
4) Recording Source Submenu:
There are three sources you can choose to record from. Select one then click "off" to go back to
the previous menu
Analog = line in from hi-fi set or other line level device
Mic = built-in microphone. The center hole above the screen is the microphone.
Digital = If you have a hi-fi system which uses digital audio you should select this option
5) Quality Submenu:
Choose this option to adjust the recording quality.
Your Jukebox FM uses Variable Bit Rate (VBR) recording. Often, when people record music on
their computers, they specify a fixed bit rate such as 96 Kbps or 128 Kbps. The VBR encoding
method analyzes the type of audio signal it is receiving and adjusts the bit rate higher or lower
depending on the complexity of the sound. This actually helps create smaller files that sound just
as good as those created with fixed bit rates.
We can make a rough correlation from the VBR method to the fixed bit rates for a recording at a
sample rate of 44.1 Khz. The quality level 5 (good) will record at an average of about 144 Kbps.
The high quality level 7 will record at an average of about 166 Kbps. If this all sounds too complex
to you, just leave it set at 5 and you will get very good sounding recordings. Once your selection is
completed, press PLAY to save the changes, then click the "Off" button to go to the previous menu.
6) Sampling Rate Submenu:
Use this option to select sampling rate of your MP3 recording.
The highest sampling rate is 48 Khz. This rate will create the highest level of fidelity and the largest
file sizes. The 44.1 Khz rate is the same rate used for audio CDs and is thus the recommended
sampling rate for analog recordings. To make your files smaller (but lower the sound quality) you
can use lower sampling rates.
For voice recordings from the built-in microphone, a sampling rate of 16 Khz is sufficient.
