CD-R MP3/WMA file
When you record MP3 or WMA files on CD-R,
please refer to the following.
- Your MP3 or WMA files should be ISO 9660 or
JOLIET format.
ISO 9660 format and Joliet MP3 or WMA files are
compatible with Microsoft's DOS and Windows,
and with Apple's Mac. This format is the most
widely used.
- When naming your MP3 or WMA files, do not
exceed 8 characters, and enter “.mp3, .wma”
as the file extension.
General name format : Title.mp3. or Title.wma.
When composing your title, make sure that you
use 8 characters or less, have no spaces in the
name, and avoid the use of special characters
including: (.,/,\,=,+).
- Use a decompression transfer rate of at least
128 Kbps when recording MP3 files.
Sound quality with MP3 files basically depends
on the rate of compression/decompression you
choose. Getting CD audio sound requires an
analog/digital sampling rate, that is conversion to
MP3 format, of at least 128 Kbps and up to 160
Kbps. However, choosing higher rates, like 192
Kbps or more, only rarely give better sound
quality. Conversely, files with decompression
rates below 128 Kbps will not be played properly.
- Use a decompression transfer rate of at least
64Kbps when recording WMA files.
Sound quality with WMA files basically depends
on the rate of compression/decompression you
choose.
Getting CD audio sound requires an
analog/digital sampling rate, that is conversion to
WMA format, of at least 64Kbps and up to
192Kbps.
Conversely, files with decompression rates below
64Kbps or over 192Kbps will not be played
properly.
- Do not try recording copyright protected MP3
files.
Certain "secured" files are encrypted and code
protected to prevent illegal copying. These files
are of the following types: Windows MediaTM
(registered trade mark of Microsoft Inc) and
SDMITM (registered trade mark of The SDMI
Foundation). You cannot copy such files.
- Important:
The above recommendations cannot be taken as
a guarantee that the DVD-VCR will play MP3
recordings, or as an assurance of sound quality.
You should note that certain technologies and
methods for MP3 file recording on CD-Rs
prevent optimal playback of these files on your
DVD-VCR (degraded sound quality and in some
cases, inability of the player to read the files).
- This unit can play a maximum of 3000 files and
300 folders per disc.
