Basic Operation

Listening to recorded MP3 or WMA CD-R/CD-RW

•There are many music distribution sites on the internet from which music files in MP3 format can be downloaded. Music downloaded as instructed on the site and written onto a CD- R/CD-RW disc can be played on the S-101.

•If music recorded on commercially available music CDs is converted on a computer into MP3 files using an MP3 encoder (conversion software), the data on a 12 cm CD is reduced into about 1/10 the amount of the original data. Thus, when written in MP3 format, the data of about 10 music CDs can fit onto a single CD-R/CD-RW disc. A single CD-R/CD-RW disc can contain over 100 tracks.

•Values when 5-minute tracks are converted with a standard bit rate of 128 kbps into MP3 files and using a CD-R/CD-RW disc with a capacity of 650 MB.

•This unit can play CD-R/CD-RW music files that have been recorded in the WMA (Windows Media Audio)* audio compression format.
