10Additional Information

However, there also is some writing software which permits setting of the playback order.

•The sound quality of WMA files generally becomes better with increasing bit rate. This unit can play recordings with bit rates from 48 kbps to 192 kbps, but in order to be able to enjoy a certain sound quality, it is recommended to use discs recorded with a higher bit rate.

Precautions

•When naming an WMA file, add the corre- sponding filename extension (.wma).

•This product plays back files with the filename extension (.wma) as an WMA file. To prevent noise and malfunctions, do not use this exten- sion for files other than WMA files.

Terms

Bit rate

This expresses data volume per second, or bps units (bits per second). The higher the rate, the more information is available to reproduce the sound. Using the same encoding method (such as MP3), the higher the rate, the better the sound.

ID3 Tag

This is a method of embedding track-related information in a MP3 file. This embedded infor- mation can include the track title, the artist’s name, the album title, the music genre, the year of production, comments and other data. The contents can be freely edited using software with ID3 Tag editing functions. Although the tags are restricted to the number of characters, the information can be viewed when the track is played back.

ISO9660 format

This is the international standard for the format logic of CD-ROM folders and files. For the ISO9660 format, there are regulations for the following two levels.

Level 1:

The file name is in 8.3 format (the name con- sists of up to 8 characters, half-byte English capital letters and half-byte numerals and the “_” sign, with a file-extension of three charac- ters.)

Level 2:

The file name can have up to 31 characters (including the separation mark “.” and a file extension). Each folder contains less than 8 hierarchies.
