In the case of WMA files, play back is possible only for files encoded with a compression bit rate of at least 64kbps and a sampling rate of 44.1 kHz. Please note that the unit cannot play files encoded using the WMA copyright protection function. When playing WMA files, song, album and artist tags cannot be displayed. The unit allows the playback of CD-R and CD-RW discs containing a mixture of music CD data (CD-DA), MP3 and WMA files. However playback of both types of data is possible only for Mixed Mode CDs/CD Extra created using Disc at Once Method. (See below.) The unit also supports files compressed using VBR (variable bit rate). The unit does not always play back MP3 and WMA files in the order in which they were recorded. When many folders are recorded on a disc, the time required to fetch information from the disc becomes longer. We recommend that multi-session discs be limited to 10 sessions.
Display Information Limitations
The unit can display folder and file names, ID3 Tags of length up to 64 characters including the extension. However, certain special symbols may not display correctly. During playback of MP3 and WMA files, there may be occasions when the elapsed playback time is not correctly displayed.

Important Points

Please take care not to append the extensions for MP3 and WMA files onto files of any other type. When a disc containing such files is played, the files will be incorrectly recognized and played back. This will result in extremely loud noise that may damage the speakers. Depending on the state of the disc or recorder or writing software used to write on the disc, there may be cases when the disc cannot be correctly played back. In such cases please refer to the user manual for the tools you are using. When using a Macintosh personal computer, the file extension will not be added, so please add the extension.mp3 to the end of the file name. This unit does not support WAVE files. This unit does not support m3u playlists. The unit does not support Emphasis. (See Glossary on page 17.)
The packet write method is not supported.
The following three methods are used to record data (files) on a disc. As the unit does not support the Packet Write method please be aware of this. The unit supports discs recorded with the Disc at Once and Track at Once methods.

Playback Limitations

The number of tracks and number of albums (folder) that can be played back from a disc are as follows. Tracks : About 250 depending on file contents. Albums(folder) : A maximum of 250 depending on the number of tracks. The unit also recognizes up to eight album(folder) levels. The unit can playback MP3 files with compression bit rates from 32kbps~320kbps. However for the best balance of file space and sound quality we recommend 128kbps. When files compressed at less than 128kbps are played back, the sound may have breaks in it.

Disc at Once Method

With this method, all the data to be written is prepared in advance and then recorded on the disc in one go. Additional writing of data is not possible.

Track at Once Method

With this method, data is written in file (track) units. Additional writing of data is possible. E-15
With this method, tracks are sub-divided into packets depending on availability of space on the disc. Additional writing of data is possible.
Note Concerning Bit Rate and Record Time

When Creating Discs

Files will not always be played back in the order in which they were recorded. When you want to ensure that files will be played back in the order they were recorded, please write onto the disc paying attention to the points below. Use writing software that can write MP3/WMA files on the disc in the order of the file (track) names. Please check with the software developers concerning the behavior and operation of the writing software. Prefix numbers to the names of folders (albums) and files (tracks) to arrange them in order. Shown below is a good example (2 or three digits correctly entered.) and a bad example (if the number of digits is not the same for all names, the names will not be ordered correctly.)
About Recommended CD-R and CD-RW Media
With some CD-R and CD-RW media, data may not be properly written depending on their manufacturing quality. In this case, data may not also be reproduced correctly. We recommend the media manufactured by the following companies:
Please refer to the following general guide concerning the bit rate used when encoding and the overall time of a file recorded on disc. Before recording on a disc, please carefully read the software instructions and ensure you use it correctly.

CD-R Media

TDK USA Corp., Taiyo Yuden (U.S.A.), Inc., Ricoh Corporation, Eastman Kodak Company, Maxell Corporation of America, Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation, Fuji Photo Film U.S.A., Inc., Mitsui Chemicals, Inc., Sony Corporation of America, Philips Electronics North America Corporation, Imation Corp.
When the sampling frequency used for encoding is 44.1kHz
For highest sound quality CD quality (High sound quality) CD quality (Medium sound quality) CD quality (Standard) 320kbps 192 kbps 160 kbps 128 kbps About 4hr About 7hr About 8hr About 10hr

CD-RW Media

TDK USA Corp., Ricoh Corporation, Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation Several types of CD-R and CD-RW media are available, such as 2X and 1X-4X. Please read the instruction manuals of the drive and the recording software you are using to select the right media.

Example <good>

01XXXX.mp3 02XXXX.mp3 03XXXX.mp3 04XXXX.mp3
<bad> 1XXXX.mp3 10XXXX.mp3 11XXXX.mp3 2XXXX.mp3

Glossary

Bit rate
The bit rate expresses the amount of information transferred per second as a number of bits. The greater the quantity of information, the higher the bit rate. The unit is bits/second. kbps indicates kilo (1,000) bits/ second.
Structure of Folder Hierarchy
To keep data within a computer organized, related files may be put into a folder, but in addition to files, a folder may also have other folders put into it. Folder B may be put into folder A, and folder C may be put into folder B so as to create a hierarchical structure. The number of hierarchical levels that can be recognized differs depending on the computer operating system. ISO9660 specifies up to 8 levels.

Emphasis

The software used for recording has an emphasis capability, which when turned on writes emphasis attributes on to the audio track. When the emphasis bit is set the sound has a smooth characteristic. However, at the current time almost all CD players lack support for this function. It is no problem to play back an audio track recorded with emphasis on with a player not supporting emphasis.
ISO9660 Format CD-ROM ISO9660 is a CD-ROM standard file system determined by ISO (International Organization for Standardization). CDROMs with this format can be played by Windows and Macintosh operating systems and also by UNIX operating systems. HFS Format CD-ROM This is a CD-ROM conforming to the HFS (Hierarchical File System) used by Macintosh Mac OS. Hybrid CD-ROM This is a CD-ROM containing a mixture of ISO9660 format files and HFS format files. Mixed Mode CD This is a CD-ROM containing both data files and audio files on the one disc. Mixed Mode CD is a standard developed for personal computer use so the audio files on the CD cannot be played with CD players that do not support Mixed Mode CD. CD Extra (Enhanced CD) This differs from Mixed Mode CD in that the audio files are followed on the disc by data files. CD Extra was standardized by Sony and Philips to allow the audio files to be played with an audio CD player and the data files to be read by a personal computer.

VBR (Variable Bit Rate)

MP3 files are normally encoded with a fixed bit rate (eg 128kbps etc.), however VBR encoding during which the bit rate is varied while encoding is also possible. That is to say, during periods of violent variation of sound the bit rate is increased and during soundless periods the bit rate is decreased. Encoding in this way allows file size to be curbed while maintaining high sound quality. However, some players do not support VBR, so caution is required when using VBR.

Extension

In Windows and DOS personal computers, several characters are placed at the end of each file name to indicate the type of file. The extension consists of a period followed by three alphanumeric characters. The extension differs depending on file type. The extension for MP3 files is.mp3.
