Order of files
Files are played back in the order that the writing software writes 
them to the disc. Therefore, the playback order may not be what 
is expected. Verify the writing order in the software’s 
documentation. The playback order of the folders and files is as 
follows.
* The folder No./ folder Name will not be displayed if no file is
contained in the folder.
Bit rate
This is the “sound” compression rate specified for encoding. The 
higher the bit rate, the higher the sound quality, but also the larger 
the files.
Sampling rate
This value shows how many times per second the data is sampled 
(recorded). For example, music CDs use a sampling rate of 44.1 kHz, 
so the sound is sampled (recorded) 44,100 times per second. The 
higher the sampling rate, the higher the sound quality, but also the 
larger the volume of data.
Encoding
Converting music CDs, WAVE (AIFF) files, and other sound files into 
the specified audio compression format.
Tag
Song information such as track titles, artist names, album names, 
etc., written into MP3/WMA/AAC files.
Root folder
The root folder (or root directory) is found at the top of the file 
system. The root folder contains all folders and files. It is created 
automatically for all burned discs.
