About MP3 audio files

MP3 file compatibility with this recorder is limited as follows:

Sampling frequency: within 8 - 48 kHz

Bit rate: within 8 - 320kbps

The recorder cannot read an MP3 file that has a file extension other than “.mp3” .

CD-R physical format should be “ISO 9660” and “JOLIET”.

If you record MP3 files using software that cannot create a file system (eg. Direct-CD) it is impossible to playback MP3 files. We recommend that you use Easy-CD Creator, which creates an ISO 9660 file system.

File names should have a maximum of 8 letters and must incorporate an .mp3 extension.

They should not contain special letters such as / ? * : “ < > l etc.

The total number of folders and files on the disc should be less than 4,500 and the total number of files in a folder should be less than 500.

This recorder requires discs and recordings to meet certain technical standards in order to achieve optimal playback quality. Pre-recorded DVDs are automatically set to these standards. There are many different types of recordable disc formats (including CD-R containing MP3 files) and these require certain pre-existing conditions (see above) to ensure compatible playback.

Customers should note that permission is required in order to download MP3 files and music from the Internet. Our company has no right to grant such permission. Permission should always be sought from the copyright owner.
