Questions and Answers - Music File MP3
Q 1 What is MP3?
MP3, so-called “MPEG Audio Layer 3,” is one of digital compression standards
for specifying the audio part of moving-picture compression standard “MPEG.” MP3
can compress music data to about one-tenth of the original size. Compared with
conventional CDs which can only record up to 74 minutes worth of music data, if you
write MP3 files to 650 MB CD-Rs/RWs, music data worth of about 10 CDs can be
stored on a disc (at a bit rate of 128 Kbps).
Q 2 What type of MP3 files can be played back on this player?
MP3 files placed on CD media (CD-ROM, CD-R or CD-RW) can be played back.
When creating MP3 discs using your computer, CD-R/RW drive and writing software,
you have to observe the following precautions:
• When writing MP3 files to CD media, you are recommended to use Joliet or ISO
9660 Level 1 as your CD format. With any other file formats, folder/file names may
not be correctly displayed.
• Be sure to add a file extension [.MP3] to any MP3 files. This player cannot play back
files with no extension [.MP3] even if they are actually MP3 files. Furthermore, files
created in non-MP3 format cannot properly be played back even if they have file
extensions [.MP3] in their file names.
• This player is not compatible with data encoded with Layer 1 and 2 formats.
• This player is not compatible with data encoded with the MP3i or MP3 PRO format.
Q 3 Is there any limit on the number of files and folders?
This player can handle a maximum of 239 files and 64 folders (including the root
folder). If a disc includes more than the maximum, this player cannot play back files
nor select a file/folder properly. Folders with no MP3 files included and files with no
extension [.MP3] are disregarded.
• This player has such a feature that allows you to repeatedly play back the files in a
disc or randomly play back the files from a disc.
