MP3 mode 48
Multi-session
This method of recording means that information may later be added to the
CD while there is enough space remaining and the CD is not closed. The infor-
mation on each recorded CD is contained within an area marked by two data
labels called “Lead-in” for the beginning of the area and “Lead-out” for the
end of the area. A multi-session CD will allow for multiple segments that
contain their own “Lead-in” and “Lead-out”.
- CD-Extra (Enhanced CD): this format records audio (audio data CD) in the
session 1 and information (MP3) in session 2.
Mixed CD: this format records information (MP3) in session 1 and audio
(audio data CD) in session 2.
ID3 field data
The ID3 data of an MP3 file contains information on the Artist, Album and the
name of the piece.
This unit can display the information from the ID3 data field, versions 1 and
2, to a maximum of 30 characters in total. For those characters that are not
supported a “*” will be displayed instead.
