General information

MP3 and AAC music files
The music compression technologies MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer 3) and AAC
(Advanced Audio Coding) reduce the digital data of an audio CD significantly
while maintaining CD-like sound quality.With MP3, for example, you can
record up to 10 hours of CD-like music on a single CD-ROM.This unit plays
MP3 and AAC music files.
How to get music files
Either download legal music files from the internet to your computer
harddisc 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.
Some encoder software offers an option to protect music files, i. e. the files
can only be played on the computer which created them. If you burn such
files on a CD-ROM, you cannot play them on this unit. Make sure to
deactivate the protection option in the encoder software before creating
the music files. In this case you are responsible for adherence to all local or
international copyrights.
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
