  The MP3 format, an abbreviation of MPEG 1.2 & 2.5 Audio Layer 3, 
is an audio compression standard which permits the recording of several tens of music fi les on a single disc.  
  In order to be able to play a recorded 
CDR or CDRW, when recording, the ISO 9660 level 1.2 or Joliet fi le format isrecommended. 
  If the disc is recorded in another format, it ma
y not be playedcorrectly.
  It is recommended that the same recordin
g format is always used for an individual disc, with as low a speed as possible(4x maximum) for optimum sound quality. 
  In the particular case o
f a multi-session CD, the Joliet format is recommended.  
  The audio s
ystem will only play fi les with the extension ".mp3" with
a sampling rate of 22.05 KHz or 44.1 KHz. No other type of fi le(.wma, .mp4, .m3u...) can be played.  
  It is advisable to restrict fi le names to 20 characters without usin
gspecial characters (e.g. " ? ; ù) to avoid any playing or displaying problems.
