What is MP3 ?

• MP3 (mpeg 2, layer 3) is a digital file format for audio (music).
• You can download mp3 songs from many websites on the internet (please

observe the copyright regulations of your country).

• MP3 songs are much smaller is memory size compared with normal cd-audio

format songs. this is called "compression" & it allows much more recording time
on a standard cd than the normal 74 minutes (for normal cd-audio).

• The exact length of recording time depends on the "compression rate" of the mp3

song you have downloaded.

• Compression rate is specified in "kbps" (kilobits per second). for example : "-28

kbps": the higher this number, the bigger the mp3 file size (the better the sound
quality) and the lower the recording time on a cd-r. normally based on -28 kbps,
you should have approx. 250-300 minutes of recording time on a cd-r.

• MP3 songs can be recorded with some "text information" as part of the same file.

it consists of (among other details:)

• file name (song name)

• artist name

• Your cd-mp3 player can locate ("find") asong on an mp3-cd disc from the "file

name", therefore you should try to name all your mp3 files with the actual name of
the song that it contains.

• There are basically 2 ways to make an mp3-cd with your favorite songs :

• Download mp3 songs from internet & burn them on a cd-r disc on your

computer.

• Convert cd-audio files (from a normal music cd) onto your computer into mp3

format, using a kind software called "cd-ripper".(which is freeware/shareware
on internet).
