Playing an MP3 CD

MP3 (MPEG1 Audio Layer-3) files are highly compressed music files. Using this technology the data volume can be compressed by a factor of 10. This means it is possible to record 10 hours of music in CD quality on a single CD-ROM.

When creating MP3 CDs please note the following:

File system: ISO9660

Directory structure: maximum of 8 levels

Formats: *.mp3

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

Supported sampling frequencies: 32, 44.1, 48 (kHz). Music with sampling frequencies other than these will be skipped.

Supported bit rates: 32, 64, 96, 128, 192, 256 (kbit/s)

ID3 Tag: Version 1, 1.1. In later versions the directory name is displayed as the album and the filename as the title.

Important notes for playback:

Only the first session of a multi-session CD will play back.
