General information

MP3 and AAC music files

The music compression technologies MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer 3) and AAC (Advanced Audio Coding) reduce the digital data of an audio CD significantly while maintaining CD-like sound quality. With MP3, for example, you can record up to 10 hours of CD-like music on a single CD-ROM.This unit plays MP3 and AAC music files.

How to get music files

Either download legal music files from the internet to your computer harddisc 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.

Some encoder software offers an option to protect music files, i. e. the files can only be played on the computer which created them. If you burn such files on a CD-ROM, you cannot play them on this unit. Make sure to deactivate the protection option in the encoder software before creating the music files. In this case you are responsible for adherence to all local or international copyrights.

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
