recorded on a 650 MB CD-R or CD-RW at a fixed bit rate of 128 kbps and a sampling frequency of 44.1 kHz).

Points to remember when making MP3/WMA files
Common
¡High bit rate and high sampling frequency are recom-
mended for high quality sounds.
¡Selecting VBR (Variable Bit Rate) is not recommended
because playing time is not displayed properly and sound
may be skipped.
¡The playback sound quality differs depending on the
encoding circumstances. For details, refer to the user
manual of your own encoding software and writing soft-
ware.
Caution: Never assign the ".mp3", or ".wma" file name extension to a file that is not in the MP3/WMA format.
This may not only produce noise from the speaker damage, but also damage your hearing.
