ABOUT MP3

The music compression technology MP3 (MPEG1 Audio Layer 3) significantly reduce the digital data of an audio CD while maintaining CD quality sound.

Getting MP3 files: you can either download legal music files from the inter- net to your computer hard disc, or create such files by converting audio CD files in your computer through appropriate encoder software. (128kbps bit rate or higher is recommended for MP3 files.)

Creating a MP3 CD: burn the music files from your computer hard disc on a CDR or CDRW using your CD burner.

Helpful Hints:

Make sure that the file names of the MP3 files end with .mp3 .

Total number of music files and albums: around 350 (with a typical file name length of 20 characters)

The length of file names affects the number of tracks for playback. With shorter file names, more files can be burned on a disc.
