Notes on creating MP3 discs
• Create MP3 tracks with a sampling frequency of
44.1 kHz and a fixed bit rate of 128 kbps.
• Do not record non-MP3 files on discs for MP3.
To play tracks in the order they were
recorded
1 Use writing software capable of recording MP3
tracks in numerical and alphabetical order. For details
on using the software, refer to the operating
instructions supplied with the software.
2 Use only one album. (Do not create a subalbum
within an album.)
3 Include a two- or three- digit number at the beginning
of each track name so that the tracks will be played
in order.
Example of recommended name structure:
01XXXXX.mp3
02XXXXX.mp3
03XXXXX.mp3
04XXXXX.mp3
05XXXXX.mp3
Avoid using the following name structure:
1XXXXX.mp3
5XXXXX.mp3
10XXXXX.mp3
15XXXXX.mp3
20XXXXX.mp3
(The tracks shown above will be played in wrong
order, i.e., “1,” “10,” “15,” “20,” and “5.”)
