Playing a disc with MP3 files

Basic Operations

About MP3 files

MP3 (MPEG 1 Audio Layer-3) is a standard technology and format for compressing audio data. The file is compressed to about 1/10 of its original size. Sounds outside the range of human hearing are compressed while the sounds we can hear are not compressed.

Playback of some MP3 files may not be possible, depending on the encoding.

The encoding method (i.e., the bit rate selected for encoding) will affect the sound quality of the MP3 files created. The bit rate typically used for MP3 files is 128 kbps.

About ID3 tag

ID3 tag is the text information (track title, album title, artist name, etc.) stored in the MP3 files.

Notes on discs

You can play MP3 files recorded on CD-ROMs, CDRs (recordable CDs), and CD-RWs (rewritable CDs). The disc must be in the ISO 9660*1 level 1 or level 2 format, or Joliet or Romeo in the expansion format. You can use a disc recorded in Multi Session*2.

*1ISO 9660 Format

The most common international standard for the logical format of files and folders on a CD-ROM. There are several specification levels. In Level 1, file names must be in the 8.3 format (no more than eight characters in the name, no more than three characters in the extension “.MP3”) and in capital letters. Folder names can be no longer than eight characters. There can be no more than eight nested folder levels. Level 2 specifications allow file names up to 31 characters long. For Joliet or Romeo in the expansion format, make sure of the contents of the writing software, etc.

*2Multi Session

This is a recording method that enables adding of data using the Track-At-Once method. Conventional CDs begin at a CD control area called the Lead-in and end at an area called Lead-out. A Multi Session CD has multiple sessions, with each Lead-in to Lead-out segment regarded as a single session. CD-EXTRA: A format in which CD-DA (audio) data are recorded in the tracks of session 1 and computer data in the tracks of session 2. Mixed CD: A format in which computer data are recorded in the first track and CD-DA (audio) data in the following tracks within a session.

continued

Notes

• With formats other than ISO 9660 level 1, folder names or file names may not be displayed correctly.

• When naming, be sure to add the file extension “.MP3” to the file name.

• If you add the extension “.MP3” to a file other than MP3, the unit cannot recognize the file properly and will generate random noise that could damage your speakers.

• The following discs take a longer time to start playback.

–a disc recorded with a complicated tree structure. –a disc recorded in Multi Session. –a disc to which data can be added (non-finalized

disc).

Cautions when playing a disc that is recorded in Multi Session

CD-DA (audio) data or MP3 files stored on a Multi Session CD may be subject to some restrictions on playback. – If the disc begins with a CD-DA session, it is

recognized as a CD-DA (audio) disc, and MP3 playback is not possible.

– If the disc begins with an MP3 session, it is

recognized as an MP3 disc, and playback continues until a CD-DA (audio) session is encountered. When the unit recognizes CD-DA data, MP3 playback is not possible.

– The playback range of an MP3 disc is determined

by the tree structure of files produced by analyzing of the disc.

–A disc with a mixed CD format will be recognized

as a CD-DA (audio) disc.

The playback order of the MP3 files

The playback order of the folders and files is as follows:

Folder (album)

MP3 files (tracks)

Tree1 Tree2 Tree3 Tree4 Tree5 (root)

Notes

• This player cannot read the MP3 files if the file name does not end with the extension “.MP3”.

• Folders that do not include MP3 files are skipped.

• When you insert a disc with many trees, it takes a longer time to start playback. We recommend that you make only one or two trees for each disc.

• Maximum total number of MP3 files and folders is 300, and maximum number of folders is 150 (including root folder and empty folders).

• If the maximum number of folders or MP3 files is exceeded, the additional folders/MP3 files are not recognized. For example, if you insert the disc with 151 folders, the player reads only 150 folders.

• This unit can play MP3 files in folders nested up to 8 layers deep in the folder tree.

Tip

To specify a desired playback order, before the folder or file name, input the order by number (e.g., “01”, “02”), then record contents onto a disc. (The order differs depending on the writing software.)

Note on playback of MP3 files

Depending on the encoding/writing software, recording device, or the recording media used at the time an MP3 file is recorded, you may encounter such problems as disabled playback, sound interruptions, and noise.

Playing a disc with MP3 files (DECK A only)
