on the Microdrive™ (hard disk).
CF cards (storage media) are not re-
cognized by the COMPACT DRIVE
MP3. MP3 is a process developed by
the Fraunhofer Institute for compress-
ingCDaudiodata.Compressionallows
data to be reduced to around 15% of
their original size without a noticeable
loss in quality (at a bit rate of 192 Kbit/
s). If a lower bit rate is used to convert
CD audio data to MP3, you can create
smaller files but there will be a loss of
quality. You can store MP3 files on the
Microdrive™ (hard disk) using the sup-
pliedSCM(write-/readdevice).Forfur-
therdetails,pleasereadthechapteren-
