MP3 files
• MP3 is short for MPEG Audio Layer 3 and
refers to an audio compression technology
standard.
• This product allows playback of MP3 files
on CD-ROM, CD-R and CD-RW discs.
Disc recordings compatible with level 1
and level 2 of ISO9660 and with the
Romeo and Joliet file system can be
played back.
• When naming a MP3 file, add the corre-
sponding filename extension (.mp3).
• This product plays back files with the file-
name extension (.mp3) as an MP3 file. To
prevent noise and malfunctions, do not
use this extension for files other than MP3
files.
• It is possible to play back multi-session
compatible recorded discs.
• When playing discs with MP3 files and
audio data (CD-DA) such as CD-EXTRA and
MIXED-MODE CD, both types can be
played only by switching between MP3
and CD-DA (refer to page 10 for more
detailed operating instructions).
When playing a disc featuring both CD-DA
and MP3 tracks, CD-DA tracks are played
first.
• Files are compatible with the ID3 Tag Ver.
1.0 and Ver. 1.1 formats for display of
album (disc title), track (track title) and
artist (track artist).
• Only when MP3 files of 32, 44.1 and 48
kHz frequencies are played back, the
emphasis function is valid. (16, 22.05, 24
kHz sampling frequencies can be played
back.)
• The sound quality of MP3 files generally
becomes better with higher bit rates. This
product can play recordings with bit rates
from 8 kbps to 320 kbps, but in order to be
able to enjoy a certain sound quality, it is
recommended to use only discs recorded
with a bit rate of at least 128 kbps.
• This product does not playback MP3 files
from discs recorded using packet write
data transfer (UDF format). Discs should
be recorded using “pre-mastering” soft-
ware rather than packet-write software.
• There is no m3u playlist compatibility.
• There is no compatibility with the MP3i
(MP3 interactive) or mp3PRO format.
• This product is compatible with VBR
(Variable Bit Rate).
• When playing back files recorded as VBR
(Variable Bit Rate) files, the play time will
not be correctly displayed if fast-forward or
reverse operations are used.
• It is not possible to check folders that do
not include MP3 files.
• MP3 files in up to 8 tiers of folders can be
played back. However, there is a delay in
the start of playback on discs with numer-
ous tiers. For this reason we recommend
creating discs with no more than 2 tiers.
• It is possible to play back up to 253 folders
on one disc.
• The turn of Play is as follows:
001.mp3 = 002.mp3 = 003.mp3 =
004.mp3 = 005.mp3 = ······· =
030.mp3 = Disc change
• The tree above shows an example of fold-
er playback order. The order changes
depending on the PC and MP3 encoding
software you use.
• Some audio CDs contain tracks that merge
into one another without a pause. When
these discs are converted to MP3 files and
burned to a CD-R/CD-RW/CD-ROM, the
files will be played back on this player with
a short pause between each one, regard-
less of the length of the pause between
tracks on the original audio CD.
