About MP3 audio files
MP3 file compatibility with this recorder is limited
as follows:
Sampling frequency: within 8 - 48 kHz
Bit rate: within 8 - 320kbps
The recorder cannot read an MP3 file that has a file
extension other than “.mp3” .
CD-R physical format should be “ISO 9660” and
“JOLIET”.
If you record MP3 files using software that cannot
create a file system (eg. Direct-CD) it is impossible
to playback MP3 files. We recommend that you use
Easy-CD Creator, which creates an ISO 9660 file
system.
File names should have a maximum of 8 letters and
must incorporate an .mp3 extension.
They should not contain special letters such as / ?
* : “ < > l etc.
The total number of folders and files on the disc
should be less than 4,500 and the total number of
files in a folder should be less than 500.
This recorder requires discs and recordings to meet
certain technical standards in order to achieve optimal
playback quality. Pre-recorded DVDs are automatically
set to these standards. There are many different types
of recordable disc formats (including CD-R containing
MP3 files) and these require certain pre-existing
conditions (see above) to ensure compatible playback.
Customers should note that permission is
required in order to download MP3 files and music
from the Internet. Our company has no right to
grant such permission. Permission should always
be sought from the copyright owner.
