Playing MP3/WMA
This unit can play MP3 and WMA files recorded on CD-R/
RW with a computer.
Files are treated as tracks and folders are treated as
albums.
When making MP3/WMA files to play on this
unit
Disc format
Discs must  conform to ISO9660 level 1 or 2 (except for
extended formats).
File format
•MP3 files must have the extension “.MP3” or “.mp3”.
•WMA files must have the extension “.WMA” or “.wma”.
To play in a certain order
Prefix the folder and file names with 3-digits numbers in the
order you want to play them.
Files may not be recorded in numbered order if the prefixes
have different numbers of digits. For example: 1????.mp3,
2????.mp3, 10????.mp3.
However, some writing software may also cause recording
to occur in a different order.
Windows Media, and the Windows logo
are trademarks, or registered trademarks
of Microsoft Corporation in the United
States and/or other countries.
WMA is a compression format developed
by Microsoft Corporation. It achieves the
same sound quality as MP3 with a file
size that is smaller than that of MP3.
Note
•When creating a WMA disc, ensure the copyright feature
is off.
•Noise may occur when playing WMA files.
Limitations on MP3/WMA play
•This unit is not compatible with packet-write format.
•This unit does not use ID tags.
•When both MP3/WMA and CD-DA data is recorded on the
disc over a number of sessions:
•If the first session contains MP3/WMA recordings, the unit
will play from the MP3/WMA made in that session till the
session before the first CD-DA recordings.
•If the first session contains CD-DA recordings, the unit will
play only the recordings made in that session. The
subsequent sessions will be ignored.
•Maximum number of displayable characters in the album
and track name is 31.
•You cannot use 1-Disc Random play, All-Disc Random play,
program play and search function.
•Some MP3/WMA may not be played due to the condition of
the disc or recording.
•Recordings will not necessarily be played in the order you
recorded them.
