CD-R MP3/WMA discs
When playing
• Your MP3 or WMA files should be ISO 9660 or JOLIET format. |
ISO 9660 format and Joliet MP3 or WMA files are compatible with Microsoft's DOS and Windows, |
and with Apple's Mac. These two formats are the most widely used. |
• When naming your MP3 or WMA files do not exceed 8 characters, and place ".mp3, .wma" as |
the file extension. |
General name format of: Title.mp3. or Title.wma. When composing your title, make sure that you use |
8 characters or less, have no spaces in the name, and avoid the use of special characters including: |
(.,/,\,=,+). |
• Use a decompression transfer rate of at least 128 Kbps when recording MP3 files. |
Sound quality with MP3 files basically depends on the rate of compression/decompression you |
choose. Getting audio CD quality sound requires an analog/digital sampling rate, that is conversion to |
MP3 format, of at least 128 Kbps and up to 160 Kbps. However, choosing higher rates, like 192 Kbps |
or more, only rarely give better sound quality. |
Conversely, files with decompression rates below 128 Kbps will not be played properly. |
• Use a decompression transfer rate of at least 64Kbps when recording WMA files. |
Sound quality with WMA files basically depends on the rate of compression/decompression you |
choose. Getting audio CD quality sound requires an analog/digital sampling rate, that is conversion to |
WMA format, of at least 64Kbps and up to 192Kbps. |
Conversely, files with decompression rates below 64Kbps or over 192Kbps will not be played |
properly. |
• Do not try recording copyright protected MP3 files. |
Certain "securized" files are encrypted and code protected to prevent illegal copying. These files are |
of the following types: Windows MediaTM (registered trade mark of Microsoft Inc) and SDMITM |
(registered trade mark of The SDMI Foundation). You cannot copy such files. |
• Important: The above recommendations cannot be taken as a guarantee that the DVD player will |
play MP3 recordings, or as an assurance of sound quality. |
