MP3/WMA Recording Notes

About MP3
An MP3 file is audio data compressed by using the
MPEG1 audio layer-3 file-coding scheme. We call
files that have the ".mp3" file extension "MP3 files".
The player can not read an MP3 file that has a file
extension other than ".mp3".
Some discs may be incompatible due to different
recording formats or the condition of the disc.
About WMA (Windows Media Audio)
A WMA file is a Microsoft audio compression
technology.
WMA offers approximately twice the audio compres-
sion of the MP3 format.
MP3/WMA Disc compatibility with this player is
limited as follows:
1. Sampling Frequency / 8 - 48 kHz (MP3),
22 - 48kHz (WMA).
2. Bit rate / 32 - 320kbps (MP3), 40 - 192kbps (WMA).
3. CD-R physical format should be "ISO 9660".
4. If you record MP3/WMA files using the software
which cannot create a FILE SYSTEM, for example
"Direct-CD" etc., it is impossible to playback
MP3/WMA files. We recommend that you use "Easy-
CD Creator", which creates an ISO9660 file system.
5. A single session disc requires MP3/WMA files in the
first track. If there is no MP3/WMA file in the 1st
track, it cannot play back MP3/WMA files. If you
wish to playback MP3/WMA files, format all the data
in the disc or use a new one.
6. File names should be named using 8 letters or less
and must incorporate ".mp3" or ".wma" extension
e.g. "********.MP3" or "********.WMA".
7. Do not use special letters such as "/ : * ? " < > " etc.
8. Total number of files and folders on the disc should
be less than 999.
This DVD+VCR requires discs/recordings to meet
certain technical standards in order to achieve optimal
playback quality. Pre-recorded DVDs are automatically
set to these standards. There are many different types
of recordable disc formats (including CD-R containing
MP3 or WMA files). That require certain pre-existing
conditions (see above) to insure compatible playback.
Customers should also note that permission must
be required in order to download MP3/WMA files
and music from the Internet. Our company has no
right to grant such permission. Permission should
always be sought from the copyright owner.
