CD-R MP3/WMA file

When you record MP3 or WMA files on CD-R, please refer to the following.

-Your MP3 or WMA files should be ISO 9660 or JOLIET format.

ISO 9660 format and Joliet MP3 or WMA files are compatible with Microsoft's DOS and Windows, and with Apple's Mac. This format is the most widely used.

-When naming your MP3 or WMA files, do not exceed 8 characters, and enter “.mp3, .wma” as the file extension.

General name format : Title.mp3. or Title.wma. When com- posing your title, make sure that you use 8 characters or less, have no spaces in the name, and avoid the use of spe- cial characters including: (.,/,\,=,+).

-Use a decompression transfer rate of at least 128 Kbps when recording MP3º files.

Sound quality with MP3 files basically depends on the rate of compression/decompression you choose. Getting CD audio sound requires an analog/digital sampling rate, that is conversion to MP3 format, of at least 128 Kbps and up to 160 Kbps. However, choosing higher rates, like 192 Kbps or more, only rarely give better sound quality. Conversely, files with decompression rates below 128 Kbps will not be played properly.
