Notes on MP3 files
The following MP3 files are supported by the
CD player:
z Files conform with MPEG1/2 or 2.5-Layer 3.
z Up to 345 titles in up to 99 directories (each
data name with 32 characters).
z Bit rate: Maximum of 320 kbit/s, constant or
variable. The sound quality of MP3 files gen-
erally becomes better with an increased bit
rate. This unit can play recordings with bit
rates from 8 kbps to 320 kbps, but in order to
be able to enjoy sound of a certain quality, we
recommend using only discs recorded with a
bit rate of at least 128 kbps.
z Text display: ID3 tag V1 and ID3 tag V2. MP3
tracks can contain addition information such
as artist, track and album names (ID3 tags
with maximum not more than 12 characters).
Characters other than uppercase/lowercase
letters (“Aa to Zz”) and underscore (“_”) may
not be displayed.
z The unit may not play the first track in the
order that you wrote them to the disc.
z The unit plays only the first session if the disc
contains both CD audio tracks and MP3 files.
z When playing a disc of 8k bps or variable bit
rate (VBR), the elapsed playing time in the
display window may not be correct.
z Make sure that a MP3 CD-R/CD-RW is burned
that is formatted as a data disc and NOT as an
audio disc.
z MP3 files are not compatible with packet write
data transfer.
z There is no m3u play list compatibility.
z There is no compatibility with the MP3i (MP3

on the application used to encode WMA files.

becomes better with an increased bit rate. This

from 48 kbps to 320 kbps (CBR) or from 48
kbps to 320 kbps (VBR), but in order to be able
