INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
GENERAL INFORMATION MP3 music files The music compression technology MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer 3) reduce the digital data of an audio CD significantly while maintaining CD-like sound quality. With MP3, for example, you can record up to 3 hours of CD-like music on a single CD-ROM. This set plays MP3 music files. How to get music files Either download legal music files from the Internet to your computer disk or buy pre-recorded music CD. For this, insert an audio CD into your computer´s CD-ROM drive and convert the music using an appropriate encoder software. To achieve a good sound quality, a bit rate of 128 kbps or higher is recommended for MP3 music files. Some encoder software offers an option to protect music files, i. e. the files can only be played on the computer which created them. If you burn such files on a CD-ROM, you cannot play them on this set. Make sure to deactivate the protection option in the encoder software before creating the music files. In this case you are responsible for adherence to all local or international copyrights. How to organize music files In order to easily handle the large number of music files on a CD-ROM, you can organize them in folders (�albums�). The tracks of an album will be played in alphabetical order. If you want to arrange them in a certain order, let the file names start with numbers. For example: 001-ONEWORLD.MP3 002-FIRESTARTER.MP3 003-DEEP.MP3 How to make a CD-ROM with MP3 Record (�burn�) the music files from your hard disc on a CD-ROM with your computer´s CD burner. Make sure that the file names of the MP3 files end with mp3 . When burning your MP3-CDs, use either ISO 9660 disc format or UDF. CD burning software like �DirectCD� or others support the UDF format. GENERAL INFORMATION This set will play all albums in alphabetical order. An album name includes all folders in which the album is located, e. g. the album VERDI in CLASSIC has the album name CLASSIC\VERDI. The albums in the illustration will be played in the following way:
ALBUM
