Precautions when creating an MP3 disc

●File extensions

1.Always add a file extension “.MP3” or “.mp3” to an MP3 file, and “.WMA” or “.wma” to a WMA file by using single byte letters. If you add a file extension other than specified or forget to add these file extension, the file cannot be played. In addition, if you use upper case and lower case letters (capital and small letters) mixedly for file extensions, normal play may not be possible.

2.Files other than MP3/WMA data cannot be played.

●Logical format (File system)

1.When writing an MP3/WMA file on a disc, please select “ISO9660 level 1 or level 2 (without including expansion format)” as the writing software format. Normal playback may not be possible if the disc is recorded on another format.

2.The folder name and filename can be displayed as the title during MP3/WMA play but the title must be within 31 single byte alphabetical letters and numerals for the folder name and file name (including an extension). Entering more letters or numerals than specified may cause an incorrect display.

●Folder structure

1.A disc with a folder having more than 8 hierarchical levels will conflict with the ISO9660 and playback will be impossible.

●Number of files or folders

1.The maximum allowable number of folders is 255 (including root directory); the maximum allowable number of files is 512 (max. 255 per folder). This represents the maximum number of tracks that can be played back.

2.Tracks are played in the order that they were recorded onto a disc. (Tracks might not always be played in the order displayed on the PC.)

•Some noise may occur depending on the type of encoder software used while recording.

•In case of a track recorded at VBR (variable bit rate), the display for the play time of the track may be slightly different from the actual play time. Also, the recommended value of VBR ranges from 64 kbps to 320 kbps.

•Depending on the damage conditions of a file, it may occur that the file is not played and the next file is played instead. Also, if the damage is in a severe condition, play stops showing the “ERROR 3” display.

•After disc selection, the play mode is automatically engaged.

Note:

•If ID3 Tag information was entered with 2-byte characters, it may occur that the characters are not reproduced properly on the display.

•MP3/WMA files that the DRM (Digital Rights Management) function is set cannot be played.

Regarding MP3/WMA folder creation

Up to 8 folder levels (including the root directory) can be created for MP3/WMA files (items 1 – in the illustration). However, on this unit, folders created above the third level will be converted to 2 levels.
