About MP3

The music compression technology MP3
(MPEG1 Audio Layer 3) significantly reduce
the digital data of an audio CD while 
maintaining CD quality sound.

Getting MP3 files:

you can either download

legal music files from the internet to your
computer hard disc, or create such files by
converting audio CD files in your computer
through appropriate encoder software.
(128kbps bit rate or higher is recommended
for MP3 files.)

Creating a MP3 CD:

burn the music files

from your computer hard disc on a CDR or
CDRW using your CD burner.

Helpful hints:

– Make sure that the file names of the MP3 files

end with

.mp3 

or 

.wma.

– Number of albums: maximum 

500

– Number of tracks: maximum 

1000 

– The length of file names affects the number of

tracks for playback. With shorter file names,

more files can be burned on a disc.
