mp3 music files
the music compression technology mp3 (mpeg audio layer 3) reduces the digital data
of an audio cd signicantly while maintaining cd-like sound quality. with mp3 you
can record up to 10 hours of cd-like music on a single 12cm cd-rom.
how to get music files
either download legal music les from the internet to your computer hard disc or
create them from your own audio cds. for this, insert an audio cd into your
computer´s cd-rom drive and convert the music using an appropriate encoder
software. to achieve a good sound quality, a bit rate of 128 kbps or higher is
recommended for mp3 music les.
how to organize music files
in order to easily handle the large number of music les on a cd-rom,
you can organize them in folders (albums).
the tracks of an album will be played in alphabetical order. if you want
to arrange them in a certain order, let the le names start with numbers.
for example:
001-ONEWORLD.MP3
002-FIRESTARTER.MP3
003-DEEP.MP3
the albums will be arranged in alphabetical order. If albums are located in an album,
they will be played after this album. albums without mp3 les will be skipped.
if there are mp3 les which you did not put into an album, you will nd them in the
album
VVaarriioouuss
with album number 00. various is the rst album that will be played.
when playing a disc with cd audio tracks and mp3 les, the cd audio tracks will be
played rst.

how to make a cd-rom with mp3 files
use your computer´s cd burner to record (burn) the music les from your hard disc
to a cd-rom. use either ISO 9660 disc format or UDF. some cd burner software like
e. g. DirectCD support the UDF format.
make sure that the le names of the mp3 les end with .mp3.
supported formats
this set supports:
disc format: ISO 9660, joliet, multisession, UDF,
enhanced music cd, mixed mode cd
mp3 bit rate: 32–320 kbps and variable bit rate
total number of music les and albums: around 350
(with a typical le name length of 20 characters)
