Terms

Packet write
This is a general term for a method of
writing on CD-R, etc. at the time required
for a file, just as is done with files on floppy
or hard discs.
Bit rate
This expresses data volume per second,
or bps (bits per second) units. The higher
the rate, the more information is available
to reproduce the sound. Using the same
encoding method (such as MP3), the
higher the rate, the better the sound.
Multi-session
Multi-session is a recording method that
allows additional data to be recorded later.
When recording data on a CD-ROM, CD-R
or CD-RW, etc., all data from beginning to
end is treated as a single unit or session.
Multi-session is a method of recording
more than 2 sessions in one disc.
CD-DA
CD-DA is an abbreviation of Compact
Disc Digital Audio. It refers to the
uncompressed format of regular CDs.
ID3 Tag
This is a method of embedding track-
related information in a MP3 file. This
embedded information can include
the track title, the artist's name, the
album title, the music genre, the year of
production, comments and other data.
The contents can be freely edited using
software with ID3 Tag editing functions.
Although the tags are restricted to the
number of characters, the information can
be viewed when the track is played back.
ISO9660 format
This is the international standard for
the format logic of CD-ROM folders and
files. For the ISO9660 format, there are
regulations for the following two levels.
Level 1:
The file name is in 8.3 format (the name
consists of up to 8 characters, half-byte
English capital letters and half-byte
numerals and the "_" sign, with a file-
extension of three characters).
Level 2:
The file name can have up to 31 characters
(including the separation mark "." and a file
extension). Each folder contains less than
8 hierarchies.
Extended formats
Joliet:
File names can have up to 64 characters.
Romeo:
File names can have up to 128 characters.
m3u
Playlists created using the "WINAMP"
software have a playlist file extension
(.m3u).
MP3
MP3 is short for MPEG1 & 2 Audio Layer3.
It is an audio compression standard set
by a working group (MPEG) of the ISO
(International Standards Organization).
MP3 is able to compress audio data to
about 1/10 the level of a conventional
disc.
