Playing MP3 Discs

CDs that contain compressed MP3 audio files can store approximately 10 times as much music as a normal CDs. It is possible to record up to 10 hours of music in MP3 format on a single disc.

Audio files may be downloaded from the Internet onto your computer’s hard drive or ‘ripped’from normal CDs. They are then compressed into MP3 format files by software on your computer and recorded or ‘burned’onto blank discs.

Typically when making your own MP3 CDs you will organize the song titles into “Directories” or “Folders”, also called “Albums”, by artist, or by type of music.

Note: Because MP3 CDs contain so much more information than normal CDs this CD player will take longer to ‘Read’all of the information on an MP3 disc.

You may see the flashing “READ” indicator for a minute or more before playback begins. This is normal and not an indication of any problem with your player.

Most of the normal CD operations described in this manual also apply to MP3 CDs. However there are a few differences in MP3 CD playback functions, and these are described on the following pages.

MP3 CD “Reading” Time And Display Information

As mentioned above, because MP3 CDs contain much more information than normal CDs it takes longer for the player to ‘Read’an MP3 disc and display the Table of Contents information.

After you load an MP3 CD in the player the player will read each of the “Directories” (or “Albums”) on the disc, one at a time, and display the Directory Number and the cumulative number of tracks in the directories that have already been read.

For example if we insert an MP3 CD containing 11 “Directories” (or “Albums”) and a total of 172 “files” or tracks, the display will show:
