mp3 music ﬁles

the music compression technology mp3 (mpeg audio layer 3) reduces the digital data

of an audio cd signiﬁcantly while maintaining cd-like sound quality. with mp3 you

can record up to 10 hours of cd-like music on a single 12cm cd-rom.

how to get music ﬁles

either download legal music ﬁles from the internet to your computer hard disc or

create them from your own audio cds. 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.

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

the albums will be arranged in alphabetical order. If albums are located in an album,

they will be played after this album. albums without mp3 ﬁles will be skipped.

if there are mp3 ﬁles which you did not put into an album, you will ﬁnd them in the

album VVaarriioouusswith album number 00. various is the ﬁrst album that will be played.

when playing a disc with cd audio tracks and mp3 ﬁles, the cd audio tracks will be

played ﬁrst.

how to make a cd-rom with mp3 ﬁles

use your computer´s cd burner to record (“burn”) the music ﬁles from your hard disc

to a cd-rom. use either ISO 9660 disc format or UDF. some cd burner software like

e. g. “DirectCD”support the UDF format.

make sure that the ﬁle names of the mp3 ﬁles end with .mp3.

supported formats

this set supports:

disc format: ISO 9660, joliet, multisession, UDF,

enhanced music cd, mixed mode cd

mp3 bit rate: 32–320 kbps and variable bit rate

total number of music ﬁles and albums: around 350

(with a typical ﬁle name length of 20 characters)

note: the number of music ﬁles that can be played depends on the length of

the ﬁle names. with short ﬁle names more ﬁles will be supported.

all trademarks used are owned by their respective owners.
