Tips for making WMA/MP3 and JPEG discs (For CD-R/CD-RW)
≥ Discs must conform to ISO9660 level 1 or 2 (except for extended
formats).
≥ This unit is compatible with multi-session but if there are a lot of
sessions it takes more time for play to start. Keep the number of
sessions to a minimum to avoid this.
Naming folders and files
At the time of recording, prefix folder
and file names with 3-digit numbers in
the order you want to play them (this
may not work at times).
Files must have the extension:
“.WMA” or “.wma”
“.MP3” or “.mp3”
e.g. [MP3]
root
001 group
001
001 track.mp3
002 track.mp3
