About MP3/ WMA

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

Windows Media Audio® is a registered

trademark of Microsoft Corporation.

Supported formats:

– Disc format ISO9660, Joliet, UDF (created on

Adaptec Direct CD) and multi-session CDs

– MP3 bit rate (data rate): 32-320 Kbps and

variable bit rate

– Directory nesting up to a maximum of 8

levels

– Max. track number plus album: 500
– WMA v9 or earlier

The system will not play or support the
following:

• Empty albums: an empty album is an album

that does not contain MP3/WMA files, and will
not be shown in the display.

• Non-suppor ted file formats are skipped. This

means that e.g.:  Word documents .doc or MP3
files with extension .dlf are ignored and will not
be played.
• DRM protected WMA files
• WMA files in Lossless or VBR format

IMPORTANT!

– Make sure that the file names of MP3 files end
with .mp3.
– For DRM protected WMA files, use Windows
Media Player 10 (or later) for CD burning/
conversion.  Visit www. microsoft.com for details
about Windows Media Player and WM DRM
(Windows Media Digital Rights Management).
