■About the file names
Only a file with the “.mp3” or “.wma” extension is recognized as an MP3
or WMA file. Always save an MP3/WMA file with the “.mp3” or “.wma”
extension.
The “.mp3” or “.wma” file extension must be single-byte lower case
letters.
NOTE
If a non-MP3/WMA file has the “.mp3” or “.wma” file extension, it may be
recognized erroneously as an MP3 or WMA file. When such a file is played, a loud
noise may be output and damage the speakers. Do not save a non-MP3/WMA
file with the “.mp3” or “.wma” extension.
■Multi-sessions
Multi-sessions are supported and CD-R/RW with recorded MP3/WMA
files can be played.
However, when writing with Track-At-Once, be sure to finalize the disc
with session close or write protect.
■About MP3/WMA playback
When you load a disc containing MP3/WMA files, the system first
checks all files recorded on the disc. If the disc has many files and
folders, the system may take a while to check them.
While the system is checking the disc, the music that was playing
continues to play.
To allow quick checking of files, we recommend that you do not save
non-MP3/WMA files or create unnecessary folders on the disc.
Also, we recommend that you write the all data in a single session
because the system takes longer to read the CD control information of
a multi-session disc.
■About the MP3/WMA playing time display
It is possible that the playing time will not be correct, depending on the
writing condition of the MP3/WMA file.
* It is possible that the playing time will not be correct when VBR ( Variable
Bit Rate) Fast Up/Down is operated.
