General information
The music compression technology MP3 (MPEG Audio
Layer 3) reduces the original digital audio data by a
factor up to 10 without losing significant sound quali-
ty. This allows you to record up to 10 hours of CD-like
quality music on a single CD-ROM.
How to get MP3 music
Either download legal MP3 music from the internet or
convert your audio CD into MP3 format with any MP3
encoder software, and then record onto a CD-R(W).
To achieve a good sound quality a bit rate of at
least 128kbps is recommended for MP3 files.
When burning the MP3-CD
Make sure the file names of the MP3 files end with
.mp3
Use a writing software capable of recording MP3
track titles (files) in numerical and alphabetical
order. For details on using the software, refer to
the operating instructions of the software.
Some encoder software offer an option to protect
music files, i.e. the files can only be played on the
computer which created them. If you burn such
files on a CD-ROM, you cannot play them on this
unit. Make sure to deactivate the protection option
in the encoder software before creating the music
files. In this case you are responsible for adherence
to all local or international copyrights.
How to organize MP3 files
You can store up to a maximum number of 35 albums
and 400 titles on one MP3-CD, depending on the song
file sizes.
Albums and titles are alphabetically sorted.
MP3-CD/ CD albums and titles are shown as num-
bers in the display.
