Audio MP3 audio ! What is MP3? MP3 (the name is an abbreviation of 'MPEG Audio Layer 3') is a compression format for digital audio. It was developed by the Motion Picture Experts Group. It permits audio data to be shrunk by a factor of about 10 with no loss of sound quality, meaning that the audio on 10 conventional CDs can be fitted onto a single CD-R or CD-RW (assuming a bit rate of 128 kbps and a sampling frequency of 44.1 kHz). found in the user's manuals for encoder software and writing software. " A fixed bit rate of 128 kbps or higher is recommended. ! Saving MP3 files on a disc " Do not save any non-MP3 file on a disc. Also, do not save any unnecessary folder on a disc. " If many folders and/or non-MP3 files are saved on a disc, a delay will be caused before playback begins. " If a disc contains both Compact Disc-Digital Audio (CD-DA) files and MP3 files, the system will play only the CD-DA files. " Add the extension '.MP3' to the name of every MP3 file. The system will not play any file that has either no extension or an extension other than '.MP3'. " Do not add the extension '.MP3' to the name of any non-MP3 file. Doing so could lead to speaker damage. " The system supports multi-session recording, so disc-at-once recording is recommended. " The system does not support packet writing software. " The system does not have a playlist function. " The system may not be able to display and play certain MP3 files depending on the writing software and CD recorder. " Recording must be performed using a file system NOTE " MP3 encoding and writing software is not supplied with the audio system. " CD writing software is not supplied with the audio system. ! Creating MP3 files " To create a high-quality MP3 file, it is advisable to a high bit rate (128 kbps or higher) and a high sampling frequency. " If a file is created with a variable bit rate (VBR), the elapsed time during playback may not be displayed correctly and the sound may skip. " The sound quality during playback depends upon the encoder and bit rate. Detailed information can be 5-60
