AUDIO SYSTEM

This  is  a  general  term  that  describes  the  
process of writing data on-demand to CD-
R,  etc.,  in  the  same  way  that  data  is  writ -
ten to floppy or hard discs.
 Thi s  is  a  method  of  embedding  track-
rel at
ed  information  in  an  MP3  file.  This  
embedded  information  can  include  the  
track number, track title, the artist’s name,  
the  album  title,  the  music  genre,  the  year  
of  production,  comments,  cover  art  and  
other  data.  The  contents  can  be  freely  
edited  using  software  with  ID3  tag  editing  
functions. Although  the  tags  are  restricted  
to a number of characters, the information  
can  be  viewed  when  the  track  is  played  
back.
 WMA   files  can  contain  a  WMA  tag  that  is
 
u s
ed in the same way as an ID3 tag. WMA  
tags  carry  information  such  as  track  title  
and artist name.
 Thi s  is  the  international  standard  for  the
 
f ormat
ting  of  CD-ROM  folders  and  files.  
For  the  ISO  9660  format,  there  are  2  lev -
els of regulations.
 Level  1:  The  file  name  is  in  8.3  format  (8
 
c h
aracter file names, with a 3 character  
file  extension.  File  names  must  be  com-
posed of one-byte capital letters and num-
bers.  The  “_”  symbol  may  also  be  
i ncl
ude
d.)
 Level  2: The  file  name  can  have  up  to  31
 
ch aract
ers  (including  the  separation  mark  
“.”  and  file  extension).  Each  folder  must  
contain fewer than  8 hierarchies. 
MP3  is  an  audio  compression  standard
 
det ermin
ed by a working group (MPEG) of  
the ISO (International Standard Organiza -
tion).  MP3  compresses  audio  data  to  
abou t 
1/
10 the size of that on conventional 
discs.
 WMA  (Windows  Media Audio)  is  an  audio  
compress ion
  format  developed  by  
Micro soft
®.  It  compresses  files  into  a  size  
smaller than that of MP3 files. The decod-
ing formats for WMA files are Ver. 7, 8 and  
9.  T hi
