What is MP3?

MP3, short for MPEG Audio Layer-3, is a standard for compressing digital video data adopted for video CDs and similar media. It is one of the audio compression schemes covered by MPEG’s (Motion Picture Experts Group) digital audio compression standards. What it does is reduce the number of bytes in a song without hurting the sound quality by means such as eliminating big sound waves within in the sound range that is im- perceptible to the human ear. This compression allows you to reduce the contents of a conventional music CD by a factor of around 10. This means that you can record the contents of 10 music CDs on a single CD-R or CD-RW. (The figures refer to data recorded on a 650 MB CD-R or CD-RW at a fixed bit rate of 128 kbps and a sampling frequency of 44.1 kHz.)

Note:

≥MP3 encode software and writing software are not supplied to this model.

❐Maximum Number of Files/Folders

≥Maximum number of trees: 8

≥Maximum number of files/folders: 254 (filesifolders. Root folder is not included.)

≥The playback sound quality differs depending on the encoding software and the bit rate. For details refer to the user manual of your encoding software.

❐Recording MP3 files on CD-R/RW
