About MP3

•What is MP3?

MP3, whose official name is “MPEG Audio Layer 3”, is a compression standard prescribed by the ISO, the International Standardization Organization and MPEG which is a joint activity institution of the IEC.

MP3 files contain compressed audio data. MP3 encoding is capable of compressing the audio data at extremely high ratios shrinking music files by as much as one-tenth their original size. This is achieved while still maintaining near CD quality. The MP3 format realizes such high compression ratios by eliminating the sounds that are either inaudible to the human ear or masked by other sounds.

•Method for creating MP3 files

The software used to create MP3 files is widely sold or free from various sources. For details on creating MP3 files, refer to the user's manual for that software.

The MP3 files that can be played back by this device have the file extension “mp3”. Files with no extension can not be played back.

•Supported playback sampling rates and bit rates

Sampling rates: 32 kHz - 44.1 kHz, bit rates: 32 - 320 kbps Note that for sampling rates such as 22.05 kHz, this device’s frame display (Page 15) may not display correctly.

•ID3 tags

This device supports ID3 tag v1.

If ID3 tag data is in an MP3 file, this device can display the title (track title), artist name, and album name ID3 tag data.

This device can only display single-byte alphanumeric characters and the underscore. For non-supported characters, “NO SUPPORT” is displayed.

•Producing MP3 discs

MP3 files are prepared, then written to a CD-R or CD-RW using CD-R writing software. A disc can hold up to 512 files/folders (including Root Folders).

•Media supported

The media that this device can play back are CD-ROMs, CD-Rs, and CD-RWs.
