About MP3
The music compression technology MP3
(MPEG1 Audio Layer 3) significantly reduce
the digital data of an audio CD while

computer hard disc, or create such files by
converting audio CD files in your computer
through appropriate encoder software.

for MP3 files.)
•
Creating an 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
