Playing MP3 CDs
MP3 (MPEG1 Audio Layer-3) files are highly compressed pieces of music. Using this technology
the data volume can be compressed by a factor of 10. This enables you to fit up to 10 hours of
CD quality music on a single CD-ROM.
When creating MP3 CDs, keep the following in mind:
Data system supported: ISO9660
Directory structure: maximum of 8 levels
Formats: *.mp3
File names: maximum of 12 characters (8+3)
Maximum of 32 albums, 999 titles
Sampling frequency supported: 32, 44.1, 48 (kHz). Music pieces with different frequencies will be
skipped.
Bit rate supported: 32, 64, 96, 128, 192, 256 (kbit/s)
ID3 Tag: Version 1, 1.1. In the case of later versions, the directory name will appear as the
album and the file name as the title.
Important information regarding playback:
Only the first session of a multisession CD is played back.
