MP3
What is MP3?
MP3 is an audio compression method and
classified into audio layer 3 of MPEG standards.
This audio compression method has penetrated
into PC users and become a standard format.
This MP3 features the original audio data
compression to about 10 percent of its initial size
with a high sound quality. This means that about
10 music CDs can be recorded on a CD-R disc
or CD-RW disc to allow a long listening time
without having to change CDs.
Precautions when creating MP3 disc
When writing an MP3 file on a CD-R disc or CD-
RW disc, it is essential that you set the writing
software recording format to 1809660 level 1 or
level 2 (without including expansion format).
• File extensions
1. Always add a file extension ".MP3" or ".mp3"
to MP3 file by using single byte letters. If you
add a file extension other than specified or
forget to add the file extension ".MP3" or
".mp3", the file cannot be played. In addition,
if you use upper case and lower case letters
(capital and small letters) mixedly for file
extensions, normal play may not be possible.
2. Files without MP3 data will not play. The
indication "- - : - -" appears in the play time
display if you attempt to play files without MP3
data.
• Logical format (File system)
1. When writing MP3 file on a CD-R disc or CD-
RW disc, please select "1809660 level 1 or
level 2 (without including expansion format)"
as the writing software format. Normal play
may not be possible if the disc is recorded on
another format.
2. The folder name and file name can be
displayed as the title during MP3 play but the
title must be within 16 single byte alphabetical
letters and numerals (without including an
extension). Entering any other letters or the
number of letters exceeding 16 may cause
an incorrect display.
• Folder structure
1. A disc with a folder having more than 8
hierarchical levels will conflict with the
1809660 and playing will be impossible.
• Number of files or folders
1. A total of 255 files and folders are allowed.
