MP3 operation

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

Fixed and variable bit rates up to 320
kbps

Scan rates from 24 kHz - 48 kHz

The music tracks that you can create for
play back in MP3 mode are generally
copyright-protected under applicable in-
ternational and national laws.

In many countries, the reproduction of
copyrighted material is not permitted,
even if only for personal use, without the
express prior consent of the copyright
holder.

Please check the current copyright laws
for your country and comply with them.

These restrictions do not apply for exam-
ple to your own compositions and record-
ings, or for recordings for which
authorization has been obtained from the
copyright holder.

COMAND does not support ID3 tags.

Tips on creating MP3 tracks

In everyday speech, this format has
been replaced by the designation
“MP3”.

It is recommended to use MP3 tracks
with a bit rate of128 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 activated.
