Boss Audio Systems 865DBI MP3/WMA Encoder and CD Writer Settings, Entering ID3 Tag, Bit Rates

MP3/WMA Encoder and CD Writer Settings

Use the following settings when compressing audio data in MP3 data with the MP3 encoder.

Transfer bit rate : 32- 320 kbps

Sampling frequency : 32,44.1,48 kHz(WMA) 16,22.05,24,32,44.1, 48kHz (MP3)

When using a CD writer to record MP3/WMA up to the maximum disc capacity, disable additional writing. For recording on an empty disc up to the maximum capacity at once, check disc at once.

Entering ID3 Tag

This unit supports ID3 tag versions 1.0 and 1.1.

Entering File and Folder Names

Names using the code list characters are the only file names and folder names that can be entered and displayed. Using any other character will cause the file and folder names to be displayed incorrectly. The unit recognizes and plays only files with the MP3/WMA extension.

A file name entered with characters not on the code list may not play correctly.

Writing Files into a Media

When a media containing MP3/WMA data is loaded, the unit checks all data. If the media contains many folders or non-MP3/WMA files, MP3/WMA play will be delayed, it may take time for the unit to move to the next file, and searches may not be performed smoothly. Loading such a media may produce loud noise and cause damage to the speakers. Do not attempt to play a media

containing a non-MP3/WMA file with the MP3/WMA extension or a media containing non MP3/WMA files.

Bit Rates

The unit supports bit rates from 32 - 320 kbps.

Files Playing Order

When selected for play, Folder Search, File Search or Folder Select, files and folders are accessed in the order in which they were written by the PC writer. Because of this, the order in which they are expected to be played may not match the order in which they are actually played. For example, a media with the following folder/file hierarchy is subject to Folder Search, File Search or Folder Select as shown below.

An outline of a Media with MP3/WMA is shown below. Subfolders are shown as folders in the folder currently selected.
