MP3 / WMA CD Mode
The Stream 63i is able to play CD-R and CD-RW discs containing MP3
and WMA fi les. It is assumed in this section that a fi le is equivalent to a
CD track.
An MP3 / WMA CD may not contain more than 512 fi les and not more than
99 folders. MP3 and WMA fi les should be created with an audio sample
rate of 44.1kHz (this is normal for fi les created from CD audio content).
MP3 and WMA data rates up to 320 kilobits per second are supported.
WMA Lossless fi les are not supported. The unit will not play fi les which
include digital rights management (DRM) protection.
When burning CD-R and CD-RW discs with audio fi les, various problems
may arise which could lead to problems with playback. Typically such
problems are caused by poor CD writing or audio encoding software, or
by the hardware settings of the PC's CD writer, or by the CD being used.
Should such problems arise, contact the customer services of your CD
writer or software manufacturer or look in their product documentation
for relevant information. When you are making audio CDs, take care to
observe all legal guidelines and ensure that the copyright of third parties
is not infringed.
1. To select the CD mode press the Media button until 'CD' shows on
the display, or insert a suitably prepared CD-R or CD-RW disc.
2. Insert a CD with printed side facing up into the CD slot. The disc will
be loaded automatically. The unit will check the CD type and load its
track list. The display will show "loading" and then "reading" as the
information is read.
If there are many fi les or folders on the CD then it may take some
tens of seconds to read all of the fi le and folder names and to identify
those which are playable (with .mp3 or .wma fi lename extension).
