7What is MP3?

MP3 is an abbreviation of Motion Picture Experts Group 1 (or MPEG-1) Audio Layer 3. MP3 is simply a file format with a data compression. By using MP3 format, one CD-R or CD- RW can contain 10 times as much data volume as a regular CD can.

7Disc structure

On an MP3 disc, each song (material) is recorded as a file. Files are usually grouped into a folder. Folders can also include other folders, creating hierarchical folder layers.

		Up to 99 groups
Group 1				Group 2
Track 1	Track 2		Group 3		Group 4	Group 5

Up to 150 tracks

This system simplifies the hierarchical construction of a disc and manages files and folders by “tracks” and “groups.” This system can recognize up to 150 tracks per group, and up to 99 groups per disc (up to 14,850 tracks). The system ignores those exceeding the maximum numbers and cannot play them.

•If there is any type of files other than MP3 files in a folder, those files are also counted in the total number of 150.

7NOTES for MP3 disc

•MP3 discs (either CD-R or CD-RW) require a longer readout time. (It differs due to the complexity of the directory/file configuration.)

•When making an MP3 disc, select ISO 9660 Level 1 or Level 2 as the disc format.

•This system supports “multi-session” discs (up to 5 sessions).

•This system can not play “packet write” discs.

•The system can play MP3 files only with the following file extensions: “.MP3,” “.Mp3,” “.mP3,” and “.mp3.”

•ID3* tags cannot be shown on the display.

*An MP3 file can contain file information called “ID3 Tag” where its album name, performer, track title, etc. are recorded. There are two versions—ID3v1 (ID3 Tag version 1) and ID3v2 (ID3 Tag version 2).

•We recommended to record each song (material) at

a samplerate of 44.1 kHz and at a data transfer rate of 128 kbps.

•If both MP3 files and JPEG files are recorded on a disc, set the MP3/JPEG setting in the PICTURE menu to “MP3.”

(See page 62.)

•Some MP3 discs may not be played back because of their disc characteristics or recording conditions.
