Track names and folder names
When creating an MP3 CD, you can assign
names to the MP3 tracks and folders.
COMAND uses these names in MP3-mode
for the corresponding display.
Please note the following when assigning
track and folder names:
ț Per folder a maximum of 1800 charac-
ters are available for title and folder
names combined.
Exceeding this number, COMAND can-
not display all titles and folders.
ț Track and folder names must contain
at least 1 character.
ț Track names may contain up to fifty
characters. If a track name exceeds
this character limit, COMAND will not
be able to display it in full.
ț Track names must have the file exten-
sion “mp3”.
ț A period must appear between the
track name and the file extension.
Example of a correct track name:
Track1.mp3
Empty folders or folders containing data
other than MP3 tracks will not be dis-
played by COMAND.
If MP3 files are stored in the root directory
itself, the root directory also counts as a
folder. COMAND will then display the root
directory name as a folder name.
Permissible MP3 formats
COMAND supports the
MPEG1 Audio Layer 3 format.
Permissible bit and scan rates
ț Fixed and variable bit rates up to
320 kbps
ț Scan rates from 24 kHz - 48 kHz
i
COMAND does not support ID3 tags.
Tips on creating MP3 tracks
i
In everyday speech, this format has
been replaced by the designation
“MP3”.
i
It is recommended to use MP3 tracks
with a bit rate of 128 kbps or higher
and with a scan rate of 44.1 kHz or
higher. Lower rates may impair quality.
This is particularly true if the Sound
function*
LOGIC7 Surround has been acti-
vated.
