GENERAL INFORMATION MP3 music �les The music compression technology MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer 3) reduce the digital data of an audio CD signi�cantly 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 �les. How to get music �les Either download legal music �les 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 �les. Some encoder software offers an option to protect music �les, i. e. the �les can only be played on the computer which created them. If you burn such �les 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 �les. In this case you are responsible for adherence to all local or international copyrights. How to organize music �les In order to easily handle the large number of music �les 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 �le names start with numbers. For example: 001-ONEWORLD.MP3 002-FIRESTARTER.MP3 003-DEEP.MP3

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

1 .mp3 .mp3 2 .mp3 3 .mp3

CLASSIC

MOZART

CLASSIC CLASSIC\MOZART CLASSIC\VERDI POP\BLUR REGGAE

1 2 3 4 5

VERDI

POP 4 .mp3 5 .mp3 REGGAE BLUR

In POP there are no MP3 �les. POP is therefore skipped. There may be an album 0 which will be played before all other albums. Album 0 contains all tracks which you did not put into an album.

How to make a CD-ROM with MP3 Record (�burn�) the music �les from your hard disc on a CD-ROM with your computer´s CD burner. Make sure that the �le names of the MP3 �les 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.
