About MP3/WMA
MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer 3) is a standard format for audio compression. By
using MP3, a file can be compressed to about 1/10 of the original size.
WMA ( Windows Media Audio) is Microsoft's audio compression technology.
WMA files can be compressed to a size even smaller than MP3 files.
This unit only supports certain MP3/WMA file standards, recorded media
and formats. Take note of the following when writing MP3/WMA files onto a
disc.

■About ID3/WMA tags
In MP3/WMA files, you can enter textual attribute information known as
ID3 tags/WMA tags to save information such as track titles and artist
names.
This unit supports ID3v.1.0, 1.1, 2.2, 2.3 and 2.4 tags. This unit supports
the ISO 8859-1, 2, 5 and 7 codes only. Use only the ISO 8859-1, 2, 5 or 7
codes to record tags. If characters not included in ISO 8859-1, 2, 5 or 7
codes are recorded, they may not be readably displayed.
This unit supports the WMA tag ASF revision (v1.20.02). WMA tags using
only Unicode are supported. Always use Unicode characters to enter
the information.
* When Ver. 1.x and Ver. 2.x of the ID3 tags both exist, precedence is given to
Ver. 2.x.

■About the supported media types
You can play MP3/WMA files recorded on a CD-ROM, CD-R or CD-RW
disc. Compared to the CD-ROM media commonly used for music discs,
CD-R and CD-RW discs are fragile in high temperature and high
humidity environments. It may not be possible to play some CD-R/
CD-RW discs. Fingerprints or scratches on a disc may prevent playback
or cause skipping during playback.
Some CD-R/CD-RW discs may deteriorate if left inside a vehicle for a
long time.
We recommend that you store UV-sensitive CD-R and CD-RW discs in
shield cases.
■About the supported disc formats
You can use media in the following formats.
•CD-ROM formats:
CD-ROM MODE 1, CD-ROM XA MODE 2 Form 1
•File formats:
ISO9660 Level 1 or Level 2
ROMEO system, JOLIET system
MP3/WMA files recorded in a format other than those described
above may result in files that cannot be played normally or file
names and folder names that do not display properly.
In addition to these standards, the following limitations apply.
•Maximum number of directory layers:
8 layers
•Supported characters for folder and file names:
A to Z, 0 to 9, and underscore (_)
•Number of files that can be stored on a single disc:
999
•Number of folders that can be stored on a single disc:
255
