About MP3
The music compression technology MP3
(MPEG1 Audio Layer 3) significantly reduce
the digital data of an audio CD while
maintaining CD quality sound.
Getting MP3 files: you can either download
legal music files from the internet to your
computer hard disc, or create such files by
converting audio CD files in your computer
through appropriate encoder software.
(128kbps bit rate or higher is recommended
for MP3 files.)
Creating a MP3 CD: burn the music files
from your computer hard disc on a CDR or
CDRW using your CD burner.
Helpful hints:
– Make sure that the file names of the MP3 files
end with .mp3.
– Total number of music files and albums: around
350 (with a typical file name length of 20 char-
acters)
– The length of file names affects the number of
tracks for playback.With shorter file names,
more files can be burned on a disc.
