MP3 MUSIC FILES
The music compression technology MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer 3) reduces
the digital data of an audio CD significantly while maintaining CD-like
sound quality. With MP3 you can record up to 10 hours of CD-like music
on a single CD-ROM.
How to get music files
Either download legal music files 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
files.
How to organize music files
In order to easily handle the large number of music files 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 file 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
files will be skipped.
If there are MP3 files which you did not put into an album, you will find
them in the album number 01.
played.
Various
is the first album that will be
How to make a CD-ROM with MP3 files
Use your computer´s CD burner to record (“burn”) the music files from
your hard disc on 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 file names of the MP3 files 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 files and albums: around 350 (with a typical
file name length of 64 characters)
