The major specifications of the acceptable disc format are:

• Acceptable characters for a file/folder name:
A - Z, a - z, 0 - 9, _ (underscore)
Notes
• When naming files, be sure to add the file extension “mp3” to the file name.
• If you add the extension “mp3” to a file other than an MP3 file, the player will not be able to recognize the
file properly.
• The file name does not correspond to the ID3 tag.
The usable number of groups and files
• Maximum number of groups: 100
• Maximum number of files: 400
Settings for compression and writing software
• This CD player supports MP3 files with the following specifications: transfer bit rate:
16 - 320 kbps and sampling frequencies: 32/44.1/ 48 kHz. Variable Bit Rate (VBR) is also
supported.
To compress a source for an MP3 file, we recommend setting the transfer bit rate of the
compression software to “44.1 kHz,” “128 kbps,” and “Constant Bit Rate.”
•To record up to the maximum capacity, set to “halting of writing.”
•To record at one time up to the maximum capacity on media that has nothing recorded on it,
set to “Disc at Once.”
Note on saving files on the media
When a disc is inserted, the CD player reads all the files on that disc. If there are many groups or
if there are files in a different format on the disc, it may take a long time for play to begin or for
the next file to start play.
We recommend that you do not save files in other formats or unnecessary groups on a disc that
has MP3 files.
Enjoy your ATRAC CD Walkman!
