Playing an MP3 CD

quality on a single CD-ROM.

File system: ISO9660
Directory structure: maximum of 8 levels
Formats: *.mp3
Filenames: maximum of 12 characters (8+3)
Maximum of 32 albums, 999 titles
Supported sampling frequencies: 32, 44.1, 48 (kHz). Music with
sampling frequencies other than these will be skipped.
Supported bit rates: 32, 64, 96, 128, 192, 256 (kbit/s)
