ISO 9660 format and Joliet MP3 or WMA files are compatible with Microsoft DOS and Windows, and with Apple Mac. These two formats are the most widely used.
•When naming your MP3 or WMA files, do not exceed 8 characters, and use “.mp3” and “.wma” as the file extensions.
Use the general name format of “Title.mp3” or “Title.wma”. When composing your title, make sure you use 8 characters or less, have no spaces in the name, and avoid the use of special characters (.,/,\,=,+).
•Use a decompression transfer rate of at least 128 Kbps when recording MP3 files. The sound quality of MP3 files depends on the rate of compression/decompression. To approximate CD quality audio, you will need an analog/digital sampling rate of at least 128 Kbps and up to 160 Kbps. Higher rates (192 Kbps or more) only occasionally yield better sound quality. Conversely, rates below 128 Kbps will yield inadequate results.
•Use a decompression transfer rate of at least 64Kbps when recording WMA files. The sound quality of WMA files depends on the rate of compression/decompression. To approximate CD quality audio, you will need an analog/digital sampling rate of at least 64 Kbps and up to 192 Kbps. Rates below 64Kbps or above 192 Kbps will yield inadequate results.
