general information

mp3 music ﬁles

the music compression technology mp3 (mpeg audio layer 3) reduces the digital data of an audio cd signiﬁcantly while maintaining cd-like sound quality. with mp3 you can record up to 10 hours of cd-like music on a single 12cm cd-rom.

how to get music ﬁles

either download legal music ﬁles from the internet to your computer hard disc or create them from your own audio cds. for this, insert an audio cd into your computer´s cd-rom drive and convert the music using an appropriate encoder software. to achieve a good sound quality, a bit rate of 128 kbps or higher is recommended for mp3 music ﬁles.

how to organize music ﬁles

in order to easily handle the large number of music ﬁles on a cd-rom, you can organize them in folders (“albums”).

the tracks of an album will be played in alphabetical order. if you want to arrange them in a certain order, let the ﬁle names start with numbers. for example:

001-ONEWORLD.MP3

002-FIRESTARTER.MP3

003-DEEP.MP3

the albums will be arranged in alphabetical order. If albums are located in an album, they will be played after this album. albums without mp3 ﬁles will be skipped.

if there are mp3 ﬁles which you did not put into an album, you will ﬁnd them in the album Various with album number 0. various is the ﬁrst album that will be played.

when playing a disc with cd audio tracks and mp3 ﬁles, the cd audio tracks will be played ﬁrst.
