General information

MP3 music files
The music compression technology MP3 (MPEG 1 Audio Layer 3) reduces
the digital data of an audio CD significantly while maintaining CD-like sound
quality.With MP3 you can record up to 10 hours of CD-like music on a single
CD-ROM.
How to get music files
Either download legal music files from the internet to your computer hard disc
or create them from your own audio CDs. For this, insert an audio CD into
your computer´s CD-ROM drive and convert the music using an appropriate
encoder software.To achieve a good sound quality, a bit rate of 128 kbps or
higher is recommended for MP3 music files.
How to organize music files
In order to easily handle the large number of music files on a CD-ROM,
you can organize them in folders (“albums”).
The tracks of an album will be played in alphabetical order. If you want
to arrange them in a certain order, let the file names start with numbers.
For example:
001-ONEWORLD.MP3
002-FIRESTARTER.MP3
003-DEEP.MP3
Albums will be arranged in alphabetical order, but subfolders (albums within
another album) will be played immediately after the album in which they are
located. Albums without MP3 files will be skipped.
If there are MP3 files which you did not put into an album, you will find them
in the album VARIOUS with album number 0.VARIOUS is the first album
that will be played.
When playing a disc with CD Audio tracks and MP3 files, the CD Audio tracks
will be played first.

How to make a CD-ROM with MP3 files
Use your computer´s CD burner to record (“burn”) the music files from
your hard disc on a CD-ROM. Use either ISO 9660 disc format or UDF.
Some CD burner software like e. g.“DirectCD” support the UDF format.
Make sure that the file names of the MP3 files end with .mp3.
Supported formats
This set supports:
– Disc format: ISO 9660, Joliet, Multisession, UDF,
Enhanced Music CD, Mixed Mode CD
– MP3 bit rate: 32–320 kbps and variable bit rate
– Total number of music files and albums: around 350
(with a typical file name length of 20 characters)
Note:The number of music files that can be played depends on the length of
the file names. With short file names more files will be supported.
All trademarks used are owned by their respective owners.
