About MP3 audio files

MP3 file compatibility with this recorder is limited as follows:

Sampling frequency: within 8 - 48 kHz

Bit rate: within 8 - 320kbps

The recorder cannot read an MP3 file that has a file extension other than “.mp3” .

CD-R physical format should be “ISO 9660” and “JOLIET”.

If you record MP3 files using software that cannot create a file system (eg. Direct-CD) it is impossible to playback MP3 files. We recommend that you use Easy-CD Creator, which creates an ISO 9660 file system.

File names should have a maximum of 8 letters and must incorporate an .mp3 extension.

They should not contain special letters such as / ? * : “ < > l etc.

The total number of folders and files on the disc should be less than 4,500 and the total number of files in a folder should be less than 500.

This recorder requires discs and recordings to meet certain technical standards in order to achieve optimal playback quality. Pre-recorded DVDs are automatically set to these standards. There are many different types of recordable disc formats (including CD-R containing MP3 files) and these require certain pre-existing conditions (see above) to ensure compatible playback.
