MP3 Operation

About MP3

CAUTION

Except for personal enjoyment, duplicating audio data

(including MP3 data) or distributing, transferring, or

copying it, whether for free or for a fee, without the

permission of the copyright holder is strictly prohibited

by the Copyright Act and by international treaty.

• What is MP3?

MP3, whose official name is "MPEG Audio Layer 3", is a

compression standard prescribed by the ISO, the

International Standardization Organization and MPEG

which is a joint activity institution of the IEC.

MP3 files contain compressed audio data. MP3 encoding

is capable of compressing the audio data at extremely

high ratios shrinking music files by as much as one-tenth

their original size. This is achieved while still maintaining

near CD quality. The MP3 format realizes such high

compression ratios by eliminating the sounds that are

either inaudible to the human ear or masked by other

sounds.

• Method for creating MP3 files

The software used to create MP3 files is widely sold or

free from various sources. For details on creating MP3

files, refer to the user's manual for that software.

The MP3 files that can be played back by this device

have the file extension "mp3." Files with no extension

cannot be played back.

• Supported playback sampling rates and bit rates

Sampling rates: 32 kHz - 44.1 kHz, bit rates: 32 - 320

kbps

Note that for sampling rates such as 22.05 kHz, this

device's frame display (Page 15) may not display

correctly.

• ID3 tags

This device supports ID3 tag v1.

If ID3 tag data is in an MP3 file, this device can display

the title (track title), artist name, and album name ID3 tag

data.

This device can only display single-byte alphanumeric

characters and the underscore. For non-supported

characters, "NO SUPPORT" is displayed.

• Producing MP3 discs

MP3 files are prepared, then written to a CD-R or CD-RW

using CD-R writing software. A disc can hold up to 510

files/folders (including Root Folders).

• Media supported

The media that this device can play back are CD-ROMs,

CD-Rs, and CD-RWs.
