Requirements on the data carrier and audio files
Limitations and information
Dirt, high temperatures and mechanical damage can render a data carrier unusable. Observe the
information of the data carrier manufacturer.
Quality differences with data carriers from different manufacturer may lead to problems when playing
back.
Observe all legal guidelines concerning copyright!
Configuration of a data carrier, or devices and programs used for recording, could mean that individual
tracks or the data carrier cannot be read. Information on this, such as how to create audio files and data
carriers in the best possible way (compression rate, ID3 tag, etc.) can be found on the internet, for
example.
Due to the larger data volume, it takes a little longer for reading in a data carrier with compressed audio
files (MP3, AAC, WMA, etc.) than when reading in a conventional audio CD. Complicated folder
structures can further delay this reading in.
The number of tracks that can be read is limited to 999. If more tracks are stored on the data carrier,
these are ignored from the thousandth track and cannot be played back.
