Creating An Mp3 Storage Medium - Becker CASCADE PRO Operation Manual

Creating an MP3 storage
medium
• A maximum of 63 folders, each of
which can contain up to 254 tracks, can
be stored on a storage medium. How-
ever, a maximum of 1000 tracks per
CD or SD/MMC card and 2000 tracks
per CF-card/micro-drive are sup-
ported. If a folder contains more than
254 tracks, a second folder will be cre-
ated automatically which can also con-
tain up to 254 tracks.
Only folder or track names with 254
characters or fewer can be displayed.
• Only MP3 tracks stored on a storage
medium in compliance with ISO 9660
can be played.
• If the artist's name and track title are
to be displayed, an ID3 tag must be
added to the MP3 file. This unit sup-
ports versions ID3v1 and ID3v2.
• The display of artist's name and track
title is restricted to a total maximum
length of 63 characters.
• The MP3 formats MPEG1 and MPEG2
Layer3 are supported by the unit.
Fixed and variable bit rates of 8 - 320
kbps and scan rates of 16-48 kHz are
supported (for files with variable bit
rate only with Xing header). We rec-
ommend the use of the Fraunhofer
MP3 Encoder when creating MP3 files.
• We recommend a bit rate of at least
160 kbps for compressing MP3 files.
It should be noted that with MP3 files
having a variable bit rate, the display
of the elapsed playing time may
deviate from real time.
• In the case of a mixed-mode medium
(partly conventional audio tracks and
partly data), only the audio tracks are
played back. The data part is not
played back, even if MP3 tracks are
included.

For further information about creating
MP3 files and ID3 tags, please consult
your dealer or check on the Internet.
Note:
Due to the abundance of different kinds
of CD burning software and their asso-
ciated settings we cannot guarantee the
playback quality of MP3 CDs and/or
micro-drive/storage cards.
