Mp3 Mode (Only Travelpilot E2); Preparing An Mp3-Cd - Blaupunkt TravelPilot E1/E2 Operating Instructions Manual

MP3 mode (only TravelPilot E2)

You can also use the TravelPilot E2 to play CD-Rs and CD-RWs that contain
MP3 music files.
MP3 is a process developed by the Fraunhofer Institute for compressing CD
audio data. Compression allows data to be reduced to around 10% of their orig-
inal size without a noticeable loss in quality (at a bit rate of 128 kbit/s). If a lower
bit rate is used to convert CD audio data to MP3, you will be able to create
smaller files but this will be accompanied by a loss in audio quality.

Preparing an MP3-CD

The various combinations of CD burners, CD burning software and CD blanks
may lead to problems arising with the device' s ability to play certain CDs. If
problems occur with your own burned CDs, you should try another brand of CD
blank or choose another colour of CD blank. To avoid problems when playing
CDs, you should not burn CDs at speeds greater than 16-speed.
The format of the CD must be ISO 9660 Level 1 / Level 2 or Joliet. Other formats
cannot be played reliably.
You can create a maximum of 255 directories on a CD. You can use this device
to access each of these directories.
You can manage a maximum of 255 tracks in each directory.
Each directory can be named using a PC. The device can display the directory
name if there are no ID tags available. You should name the directories and
tracks/files using the method provided by your CD burner software. The soft-
ware' s instruction manual will provide details on how to do this.
