File Extension - A 3-character string added to a ﬁle name under the Windows or DOS environment is called a “ﬁle extension”. A ﬁle extension is used mainly to identify types of ﬁles. The ﬁle extension for MP3 ﬁles is “.mp3”.

ISO 9660 - ISO stands for the “International Organization for Standardization”. ISO 9660 determines the ﬁle structure for CD-ROMs. This unit can play MP3 ﬁles recorded in the format compliant with ISO 9660.

Nesting of folders (albums) - To organize all your data ﬁles stored in a PC, you can store related ﬁles in a folder. A folder can contain other folders as well as ﬁles. For example, FOLDER A can contain FOLDER B (as well as ﬁles) and FOLDER B can contain FOLDER C (as well as other ﬁles).

Session - A session is one uninterrupted section of written data on a disc. A multi-session disc is a disc that has more than two sessions.
