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 .

– Total number of music files and albums: around

400 (with a typical file name length of 20
characters)

– The length of file names affects the number

of tracks for playback.With shorter file names,
more files can be burned on a disc.
