MP3 disc playback
This unit can playback
Though available functions with MP3 discs are limited, operations for the available functions are similar to those with Audio CD discs.
What is MP3?
MP3 is the abbreviation of “MPEG1 Audio Layer 3”. MPEG Audio is a compression specification that compresses the audio portion only. This image compression method is used in DVD or Video CD, etc. The audio data has been compressed into about 1/10.
About MP3 disc
On an MP3 disc, each material (song) is recorded on a Track (file). Tracks are usually grouped into a “Group” (folder) by category, by artist, etc. In addition, Groups can also be members of Groups (Groups' Group), creating hierarchical Group layers. If you are familiar with personal computers, you may easily understand the hierarchical Group layer construction of MP3 discs because it is similar to the folder layer construction of computers.
