About MP3 Audio Tracks
and JPEG Image Files
What is MP3/JPEG?
MP3 is audio compression technology that
satisfies the ISO/MPEG regulations.
JPEG is image compression technology.
Discs that the player can play
You can play MP3 audio tracks or JPEG
image files on CD-ROMs, CD-Rs or CD-
RWs (DATA-CD). However, the discs must
be recorded according to ISO9660 level 1,
level 2 or Joliet format for the player to
recognize the tracks (or files).
You can also play discs recorded in Multi
Session.
See the instructions supplied with the CD-R/
CD-RW drives and the recording software
(not supplied) for details on the recording
format.
Note on the multi-session disc
If MP3 audio tracks or JPEG image files are recorded
in the first session, the player will play MP3 audio
tracks or JPEG image files also in other sessions.
If audio tracks and images in Music CD format or
Video CD format are recorded in the first session, only
the first session will be played back.
Note
Since the player cannot play the discs created in the
Packet Write format, you cannot view the JPEG
images recorded using the following Sony products
(as of February, 2002):
– Digital Photo Printer DPP-SV88
– Digital Still Camera MVC-CD1000, MVC-
CD200, MVC-CD300
