About MP3 audio tracks and JPEG image files

MP3 is an audio compression technology that satisfies certain ISO/MPEG regulations. JPEG is an image compression technology. You can play MP3 (MPEG1 Audio Layer 3) format audio tracks and JPEG image files on DATA CDs (CD-ROMs/CD-Rs/CD-RWs) or JPEG image files on DATA DVDs (DVD- ROMs/DVD+RWs/DVD+Rs/DVD-RWs/ DVD-Rs).

DATA CDs must be recorded according to ISO9660 Level 1, Level 2 or Joliet format for the recorder to recognize the MP3 tracks. You can also play discs recorded in MultiSession/Border.

See the instructions supplied with the disc drives and the recording software (not supplied) for details on the recording format.
