Tips for making WMA/MP3 discs

•Discs must conform to ISO9660 level 1 or 2 (except for extended formats).

•If you have recorded MP3/WMA on the same disc as CD-DA, only the format recorded in the first session can be played.

•This unit is compatible with multi-session but if there are a lot of sessions it takes more time for play to start. Keep the number of sessions to a minimum to avoid this.

•If there is a large amount of JPEG data etc. within a WMA/MP3 file, sound may not be output and play may not be possible.

•The unit can play a maximum of 400 albums and 999 tracks. If there are multiple folders with many levels, there may be files and folders that cannot be recognized.

•This unit is compatible with Windows Media Audio 9 (WMA9), however not with WMA9 Professional/Lossless/Voice and MBR* *Multiple Bit Rate: A file that contains the same content encoded at several different bit rates.

•Noise may occur when playing WMA files.

•You cannot play WMA files that are copy protected.

•This unit is not compatible with packet-write format.

•This unit is not compatible with ID3 tags.

•If you play an MP3 track that includes still picture data, it will take some time before the music itself starts playing and the elapsed time will not be displayed during this time. Even after the track starts, the correct play time will not be displayed.

Naming folders and files

At the time of recording, prefix folder and file names with 3-digit numbers in the order you want to play them (this may not work at times).

Files must have the extension: “.WMA” or “.wma”

“.MP3” or “.mp3”

Example:

root

001 group

001track.mp3

002track.mp3

003track.mp3

002 group

003 group 001 track.mp3

002 track.mp3

003 track.mp3

004 track.mp3
