CD/MP3/WMA Operations

MP3/WMA

What is MP3?

MP3 is an audio compression method and clas- sified into audio layer 3 of MPEG standards. This audio compression method has penetrated into PC users and become a standard format.

This MP3 features the original audio data com- pression to about 10 percent of its initial size with a high sound quality. This means that about 10 music CDs can be recorded on a CD-R disc or CD-RW disc to allow a long listening time without having to change CDs.

What is WMA?

WMA is the abbreviation of Windows Media Au- dio, an audio file format developed by Microsoft Corporation.

Notes:

•If you play a file with DRM (Digital Rights Man- agement) for WMA remaining ON, no audio is output.

•Windows Media™, and the Windows ® logo are trademarks, or registered trademarks of Microsoft Corporation in the United States and/or other countries.

Precautions when creating MP3/WMA disc

●Usable sampling rates and bit rates:

1.MP3: Sampling rate 8k Hz-48 kHz,

Bit rate: 8 kbps-320 kbps / VBR

2.WMA: Bit rate 48 kbps-192 kbps

●File extensions

1.Always add a file extension “.MP3” or

“.WMA” to MP3 or WMA file by using single byte letters. If you add a file extension other than specified or forget to add the file exten- sion , the file cannot be played.

2.Files without MP3/WMA data will not play. The indication “––:––” appears in the play time display if you attempt to play files with- out MP3/WMA data.

●Logical format (File system)

1.When writing MP3/WMA file on a CD-R disc or CD-RW disc, please select “ISO9660 level 1, 2, 3 or JOLIET or Romeo” as the writing software format. Normal play may not be pos- sible if the disc is recorded on another format.
