GLOSSARY
ItemDefinition
MP3 is an audio file format. Audio files can be quite large,
MP3 (MPEG Layer
3)
Recorder
Ripping
Encoding
Encoder
Decoder
Encryption
which is why it hasn't been practical to store music on PCs.
An MP3 file is an audio file that has been compressed
(anywhere from one fifth to one seventeenth of its original
size) with little or no loss in sound quality, resulting in a great
sounding MP3 file small enough to be downloaded and/or
stored on your computer.
One of the main components of MUSICMATCH Jukebox is the
Recorder. This is where you record (also known as ripping
and encoding) your audio CDs to MP3.
Technically, ripping is the process of extracting the digital
audio files from a CD. This process is commonly referred to
as ripping CDs and this, in conjunction with the encoding
process, is known as recording within MUSICMATCH
Jukebox.
For our purposes, encoding is the process of compressing a
ripped audio file into MP3, AIFF or other audio formats. The
ripping and encoding processes happen in one easy step
within MUSICMATCH Jukebox and are collectively referred to
as Recording.
An encoder is a device that modifies information into a
required transmission format. For our purposes, an MP3
encoder is the technology used to compress ripped audio files
into the much smaller MP3 format. Within MUSICMATCH
Jukebox, the ripping and encoding processes are combined in
one easy step and are referred to as Recording.
MUSICMATCH Jukebox currently features the next- generation
encoder from Fraunhofer, the co- inventors of the MP3
format.
A decoder is a device necessary to play back information,
which has been modified (or encoded) to a specific
transmission format. For our purposes, MUSICMATCH
Jukebox features an MP3 decoder, more commonly referred
to as an MP3 player. We also decode, or play, MP2.
Encryption refers to the application of a specific algorithm to

data so as to alter the appearance of the data making it
incomprehensible to those who are not authorized to see the
information. Whether or not files will be encrypted depends on
what format files are in. If recording MP3 files, they will not be
encrypted.
Bit rate refers to the speed at which bits (of information) are
transmitted, usually expressed in bits per second.
MP3 files compressed at 96kbps are more commonly referred
to as near CD Quality recordings. The next step up in
recording quality is 128kbps, more commonly referred to as
CD Quality recording. Generally speaking, the higher the bit
rate, the better the sound quality of the resulting file. A track
recorded at near CD quality will take up less hard drive space
than the same track recorded at CD quality. Unfortunately,
sound quality must be sacrificed to save disk space, so the
choice usually is to record tracks at CD quality.
MP3 files compressed at 128 kbps are considered CD quality
recordings. MUSICMATCH offers the ability to record MP3s up
to 320 kbps.
Throughout the MUSICMATCH website and related materials,
you will see references to the standard version of
MUSICMATCH Jukebox. This is the standard (free) version of
the program that allows you to record an unlimited number of
CD Quality recordings, unlimited use of the library and more.
Upgrade the standard version to the enhanced MUSICMATCH
Jukebox Plus for $19.99, which includes many power
features including the ability to encode up to 12 times faster
than the standard version of the jukebox.
Throughout the MUSICMATCH web site and related materials,
you will see references to 'updating the software'. Update
refers to updating your version of MUSICMATCH Jukebox to a
new, or more recent software release. There is no cost to
update the program and you can check for software updates
anytime by choosing Update Software from the Register menu
within the player.
Constant Bit Rate encoding is a method that ensures a
consistent bit rate throughout an encoded file, potentially at
the expense of audio quality and/or Encoder efficiency.
Use CBR encoding when you need to limit the size of the MP3
file or produce consistent file sizes. Choose a CBR setting
from 16kbps to 320kbps from the Record Settings screen to

customize recording. Constant Bit Rate encoded files will be
smaller than Variable Bit Rate encoded files of a comparable
encoding speed. For example, a song recorded in CBR at
128kbps will usually be smaller than the same song recorded
in VBR at 50.
Variable Bit Rate encoding is an encoding method that
ensures consistently high audio quality throughout an
encoded file by making intelligent bit- allocation decisions
during the encoding process. Use VBR encoding when
consistent audio quality is the top priority and predictable
encoded MP3 file size is not critical. Choose a VBR setting
from one to 100 from the Record Settings screen, to
customize the recording. As a general guideline, a setting of
25 is approximately 80 kbps, a setting of 50 is approximately
128 kbps and a setting of 75 is approximately 160 kbps.
Variable Bit Rate encoded files will be larger than Constant Bit
Rate encoded files, of a comparable encoding bit rate. For
example, a song recorded in VBR at 50 will be larger than the
same song recorded in CBR at 128kbps. Not all mp3 players
support Variable Bit Rate encoding; however the
MUSICMATCH Jukebox player does support this technology.
One of the main components of MUSICMATCH Jukebox is the
Music Library. This is where you organize the database of
MP3 files for easy creation of Playlists.
Click the Add button in the Music Library screen to browse
the hard drive and add existing MP3s to the Music Library.
Overwrite generally refers to replacing a file. If you have a
saved file, and try to save another song with the same name,
you can choose to overwrite it, or choose a different name
for the file.
ID3v2 tags are accepted informally as the standard for
tagging MP3 files. These tags offer a flexible and unobtrusive
way to add textual information to audio files such as song
title, artist name, album title, etc. MUSICMATCH supports ID3
tags so if you download a track that has ID3 tags already
associated with it, you will not have to add that information,
though you do have access to modify and add information
through the MUSICMATCH tagging feature.

Tagging music refers to adding ID3v2 tags to user's MP3 files.
ID3 tags can contain a lot of valuable and personalized
information including song title, artist name, song lyrics and
even album cover art to the song for display while that song
is playing. You can create names for your own custom
genres. When tagging the file, simply enter the name of a
genre if it's not already listed in the drop- down box.
Remember the tag information cannot be saved to the song if
it is playing. MUSICMATCH Jukebox offers a very intuitive and
easy to use tagging feature and all tagging
can be completed simply, in a single screen.
One of the main components of MUSICMATCH Jukebox is the
Player screen. It is the MP3 player portion of the software and
is used primarily in conjunction with the Playlists created.
However, the Player also has an integrated CD Player.
One of the main components of MUSICMATCH Jukebox is the
Playlist screen. This screen is where you create Playlists for
playback. You can also save Playlists for future sessions,
and all saved Playlists will be listed in this screen as well.
Saved Playlists will have a file extension of '.mmpl.'
Tag tracks with album art and view the cover art while the
track is playing.
One of the main components of MUSICMATCH Jukebox is the
Track Info screen. The Track Info screen allows you to view
song lyrics, artist bios, etc. while your tracks are playing. The
Track Info screen is interactive in terms of adding information
to song files, via the tagging feature.
AutoDJ is a Playlist- compiling feature unique to MUSICMATCH.
The AutoDJ feature works in conjunction with the tagging
feature and creates automatic Playlists based on your sorting
preferences. Simply define the length of the desired music
program and determine the type of music you want from the
pre- tagged Music Library.
Gracenote (formerly CDDB) is a database comprised of
thousands of artists, album and track titles. Insert an audio CD
into the CD ROM drive and open the recorder screen. If
connected to the Internet, the program will make a connection
with this site and match the serial number of the user's CD
with your records and import all title, artist, and track data into
the Recorder screen. This information will cross over to the
Music Library, as ID3 tags, upon recording completion.
