MP3 mode
42This unit can display the information from the ID3 data field, versions 1 and
2, to a maximum of 60 characters in total.
Note
•
When an MP3 disc is being played it is possible that some songs may not
play or may be played incorrectly. This may be due to the configuration of the
disc, the software or the hard ware used for the recording.
•
Audio CDs (CD-A) meet the specifications and carry a corresponding
symbol. Those CDs with copyright protection do not meet these specifica-
tions and do not bear the corresponding symbol; for this reason there may be
errors in reading this type of disc.
•
For MP3 CDs the MP3 data rate should oscillate between 8 and 320
Kb/sec.
•
It is possible to read multi-session discs but if the data has been recorded
in both formats (CD-DA and MP3), regardless of the order, only the audio
tracks will be played.
•
With other formats that are not IS O 9660 level 1 or 2, the names of the
files and folders may not be displayed correctly.
•
When naming an MP3 file make sure the extension is correct. Writing
“.MP3” for a non-MP3 file means that the file will not be recognised and may
play unwanted noises.
•
It is not possible to play MP3 files that are deeper than the first 8 folder
levels. To speed up the reading and searching, only two levels of folders are
recommended.
•
The following types of disc will take some time to begin playing:
•
A disc with many folder levels.
•
A multi-session disc.
•
A disc to which information may be added (Open).
•
It will n o t b e p o ssibl e to play a n a u dio CD (CD-R/CD-RW) that has not been
