MP3 CD
The MP3 format, an abbreviation of MPEG 1.2 & 2.5 Audio Layer 3,
is an audio compression standard which permits the recording of
several tens of music fi les on a single disc.
The playing and displaying of an MP3 compilation may depend on
the recording programme and/or the parameters used.
In order to be able to play a recorded CDR or CDRW, when recording
select standards ISO 9660 level 1.2 or Joliet.
If the disc is recorded in another format, it may not be played
correctly.
It is recommended that the same recording standard is always used
for an individual disc, with as low a speed as possible for optimum
sound quality.
In the particular case of a multi-session CD, the Joliet standard is
recommended.
The audio equipment will only play fi les with the extension ".mp3". No
other type of fi le (.wma, .mp4...) can be played.
It is advisable to restrict fi le names to 20 characters without using
special characters (e.g.: " " ? ; ù) to avoid any playing or displaying
problems.
