What is MP3/WMA?
MP3 (MPEG1/2 Audio Layer-II/III) and
WMA (Windows MediaTM Audio) are
the compression formats of digital audio.
The former is developed by MPEG (Mo-
tion Picture Experts Group), and the lat-
ter is developed by Microsoft Corpora-
tion. Using these compression formats,
you can record the contents of about 10
music CDs on a single CD media (This fig-
ures refer to data recorded on a 650 MB
CD-R or CD-RW at a fixed bit rate of 128
kbps and a sampling frequency of 44.1
kHz).
Points to remember when making
MP3/WMA files
Common
❒ High bit rate and high sampling fre-
quency are recommended for high
quality sounds.
❒ Selecting VBR (Variable Bit Rate) is not
recommended because playing time is
not displayed properly and sound may
be skipped.
❒ The playback sound quality differs de-
pending on the encoding circumstances.
For details, refer to the user manual of
your own encoding software and writ-
ing software.
MP3
❒ It is recommended to set the bit rate
to “128 kbps or more” and “fixed”.
WMA
❒ It is recommended to set the bit rate
to “64 kbps or more” and “fixed”.
❒ Do not set the copy protect attribute
on the WMA file to enable this unit to
play back.
NOTE Never assign the “.mp3”, or
“.wma” file name extension to a file that
is not in the MP3/WMA format. This may
not only produce noise from the speaker
damage, but also damage your hearing.
Recording MP3/WMA files
on a CD-media
❒ You are recommended to minimize the
chances of making a disc that contains
both CD-DA files and MP3/WMA files.
❒ If CD-DA files are on the same disc as
MP3 or WMA files, the songs may not
play in the intended order, or some
songs may not play at all.
❒ When storing MP3 data and WMA da-
ta on the same disc, use different fold-
ers for each data.
❒ Do not record files other than
MP3/WMA files and unnecessary fold-
er on a disc.
❒ The name of an MP3/WMA file should
be added by rules as shown in the fol-
lowing descriptions and also comply
with the rules of each file system.
