o Mr3 filenamesshouldnotexceed12characters,
andshouldendwiththe ".Mr3" extension.
Generalnameformat:"Title.MP3". When
composing your title ensure that you use 8
characters or less, have no spaces in the name,
and avoid the use of special characters including [
. ,/,\,- ,_].
o Use a decompression transfer rate of at least
128kBisec [kilobytes/second] when recording
Mr3 files. Sound quality with Mr3 files basically
depends on the raise of compression /
decompression you choose. Obtaining audio CD
quality sound requires an ana!og/'digii:al sampling
pate, that is converted to Mr3 format, of at least
128kBisec and up to 180kB/sec. Choosing higher
rates, such as ! 92 kBisec or more, will rarely
produce better sound quality. Conversely, files
with sampling rates below 128kBisec will not play
properly.
Do not try recording copyright-protected Mr3
files. "Secured" files are encrypted and code-
protected to prevent illegal copying. You must not
copy such files.
