Playing MP3 CDs

MP3 (MPEG1 Audio Layer-3) files are highly compressed pieces of music. Using this technology the data volume can be compressed by a factor of 10. This enables you to fit up to 10 hours of CD quality music on a single CD-ROM.

When creating MP3 CDs, keep the following in mind:

Data system supported: ISO9660

Directory structure: maximum of 8 levels

Formats: *.mp3

File names: maximum of 12 characters (8+3) Maximum of 32 albums, 999 titles

Sampling frequency supported: 32, 44.1, 48 (kHz). Music pieces with different frequencies will be skipped.

Bit rate supported: 32, 64, 96, 128, 192, 256 (kbit/s)

ID3 Tag: Version 1, 1.1. In the case of later versions, the directory name will appear as the album and the file name as the title.

Important information regarding playback:

In accordance with SDMI (Secure Digital Music Initiative), the digital audio output is turned off during MP3 playback.

Only the first session of a multisession CD is played back.
