WhatisMP3/WMA?
MP3 (MPEG audio layer 3) and WMA (Windows
Media™ Audio) are the compression formats of
digital audio. The former is developed by MPEG
(Motion Picture Experts Group), and the latter is
developed by Microsoft Corporation. Using these
compression formats, you can record the contents
of about 10 music CDs on a single CD media. (This
figures refer to data recorded on a 650 MB CD-R
or CD-RW at a fixed bit rate of 128 kbps and a
sampling frequency of 44.1 kHz.)
Note:
≥MP3/WMA encoding and writing software is not
supplied with this unit.
≥CD writing software is not supplied with this unit.
PointstoRemember
WhenMakingMP3/WMAFiles
Common:
≥High bit rate and high sampling frequency are
recommended for high quality sounds.
≥Selecting VBR (Variable Bit Rate) is not
recommended because playing time is not
displayed properly and sound may be skipped.
≥The playback sound quality differs depending on
the encoding circumstances. For details, refer to
the user manual of your own encoding software
and writing software.
MP3:
≥It is recommended to set the bit rate to “128 kbps
or more” and “fixed”.
WMA:
≥It is recommended to set the bit rate to “64 kbps
or more” and “fixed”.
≥Do not set the copy protect attribute on the WMA
file to enable this unit to playback.
