Tips On Creating Mp3 Tracks; Tips On Copyright - Mercedes-Benz COMAND Operator's Manual

A period must appear between the
track name and the file extension.
Example of a correct track name:
Track1.mp3
In the example, the track name
contains six characters, followed by a
period and the file extension "mp3".
Empty folders or folders containing data
other than MP3 tracks will not be dis-
played by COMAND.
If MP3 or audio CD files are stored in the
root directory itself, the root directory also
counts as a folder. COMAND will then
display the root directory name as a folder
name.

COMAND does not support ID3tags.

Tips on creating MP3 tracks

Permissible MP3 formats
COMAND supports the MPEG1
AudioLayer3 format.
i
In everyday speech, this format has
been replaced by the designation
"MP3".
Permissible bit and scan rates
Fixed and variable bit rates up to 320
kbps
Scan rates from 24 kHz - 48 kHz
i
It is recommended to use MP3 tracks
with a bit rate of128 kbps or higher and
with a scan rate of 44.1 kHz or higher.
Lower rates may impair quality. This is
particularly true if the sound function
LOGIC7 Surround has been
activated.
