The MP3 format, an abbreviation of MPEG 1.2 & 2.5 Audio Layer 3,
is an audio compression standard which permits the recording of several tens of music fi les on a single disc.
In order to be able to play a recorded
CDR or CDRW, when recording, the ISO 9660 level 1.2 or Joliet fi le format isrecommended.
If the disc is recorded in another format, it ma
y not be playedcorrectly.
It is recommended that the same recordin
g format is alwaysused for an individual disc, with as low a speed as possible (4x maximum) for optimum sound quality.

ystem will only play fi les with the extension ".mp3" with
a sampling rate of 22.05 KHz or 44.1 KHz. No other type of fi le(.wma, .mp4, .m3u...) can be played.
