CD-R MP3 discs
In the case of CD-R MP3 discs, please follow all the recommendations for CD-R above,
plus the comments below:
• Your MP3 files should be ISO 9660 or JOLIET format.
• When naming your MP3 files do not exceed 8 characters, and place ".mp3" as the file
• Use a decompression transfer rate of at least 128 kb/sec (kilobytes/second) when
• Do not try recording copyright protected MP3 files.

recording MP3 files.
Sound quality with MP3 files basically depends on the rate of compression/decompression
you choose. Getting audio CD quality sound requires an analog/digital sampling rate, that is
conversion to MP3 format, of at least 128 kb/sec and up to 160 kb/sec. However, choosing
higher rates, like 192 kb/sec or more, only rarely give better sound quality. Conversely, files
with sampling rates below 128 kb/sec will not be played properly.
Certain "securized" files are encrypted and code protected to prevent illegal copying. These
files are of the following types: Windows Media
SDMI M (registered trade mark of The SDMI Foundation). You cannot copy such files.
Consequently you must choose:
- either to save all your MP3 recording files at the root of the disc;
- and/or create folders in the directory for each artist or music type (e.g.classical, rock, jazz,
etc)
The above recommendations cannot be taken as a guarantee that the DVD player will play
MP3 recordings, or as an assurance of sound quality. You should note that certain technolo-
gies and methods for MP3 file recording on CD-Rs prevent optimal playback of these files on
your DVD player (degraded sound quality and in some cases, inability of the player to read
the files).
