MP3, WMA and AAC
files
• MP3 is short for MPEG Audio Layer 3 and refers to an audio compression technology standard.• WMA is short for Windows Media™ Audio and refers to an audio compression technology that is developed by Microsoft Corporation. WMA data can be encoded by using Windows Media Player.• AAC is short for Advanced Audio Coding and refers to an audio compression tech-nology standard.• With some applications used to encode WMA files, this unit may not operate cor-rectly.• With some applications used to encode WMA files, album names and other text information may not be correctly displayed.• This unit allows playback of MP3/WMA/AAC files on CD-ROM, CD-R, CD-RW discs and USB portable audio player/USB memory. Disc recordings compatible with level 1 and level 2 of ISO9660 and with the Romeo and Joliet file system can be played back.• MP3/WMA/AAC files are not compatible with packet write data transfer.• The maximum number of characters which can be displayed for a file name, including the extension (.mp3, .wma, .m4a), is 24, from the first character. •
The maximum number of characters which
can be displayed for a folder name is 24.
• In case of files recorded according to the
Romeo file system, only the first 24 char-acters can be displayed.
• The folder selection sequence for playback
and other operations becomes the writing sequence used by the writing software. For this reason, the expected sequence at the time of playback may not coincide with the actual playback sequence. However, there also is some writing software which permits setting of the playback order.
IMPORTANT
When naming an MP3/ WMA /
A AC file, add the correspond-
ing filename extension (.mp3,
.wma, .m4a).
This unit plays back files with
the filename extension (.mp3,
.wma, .m4a) as an MP3/ WMA /
A AC file. To prevent noise and
malfunctions, do not use these
extensions for files other than
MP3/ WMA /A AC files.

Terms
Packet writeThis is a general term for a method of writing on CD -R, etc. at the time required for a file, just as is done with files on floppy or hard discs.
Bit rateThis expresses data volume per second, or bps (bits per second) units. The higher the rate, the more information is available to reproduce the sound. Using the same encoding method (such as MP3), the higher the rate, the better the sound.
Multi-sessionMulti-session is a recording method that allows additional data to be recorded later. When recording data on a CD -ROM, CD -R or CD -RW, etc., all data from beginning to end is treated as a single unit or session. Multi-session is a method of recording more than 2 sessions in
one disc.
CD-DACD - DA is an abbreviation of Compact Disc Digital Audio. It refers to the uncompressed format of regular CDs.
ID3 TagThis is a method of embedding track-related information in a MP3 file. This embedded information can include the track title, the artist's name, the album title, the music genre, the year of production, comments and other data. The contents can be freely edited using software with ID3 Tag editing functions. Although the tags are restricted to the number of characters, the information can be viewed when the track is played back.
ISO9660 formatThis is the international standard for the format logic of CD -ROM folders and files. For the ISO9660 format, there are regulations for the following two levels.Level 1:The file name is in 8.3 format (the name consists of up to 8 characters, half-byte English capital letters and half-byte numerals and the "_" sign, with a file- extension of three characters).Level 2:The file name can have up to 31 characters (including the separation mark "." and a file extension). Each folder contains less than 8 hierarchies.Extended formats
Joliet:File names can have up to 64 characters.Romeo:
File names can have up to 128 characters.
