General notes on files
MP3 and WMA audio file formats
MP3 is the abbreviation of MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3 and MPEG is
the abbreviation of Motion Pictures Experts Group. This is a digital
audio compression standard that reduces the size of audio files by
eliminating frequencies that are inaudible to the human ear.
This compression divides the size of the content of a conventional
audio CD by approximately 10, which means that the content of

10 audio CDs can be recorded onto a single CD-R or CD-RW.
WMA is the abbreviation of Windows Media Audio, another audio
data compression standard offered by Microsoft.
It can be used to create and save audio files at a compression rate
lower than that of the MP3 format, with an equivalent file size. File handling
Some blank CDs may not be played by your equipment (quality,
recording speed...).
When you burn a CD-R or CD-RW, select the ISO 9660 level 1.2 or
Joliet burning standard.
To obtain the best acoustic quality possible, select the lowest
burning speed.
The MPEG1 and MPEG2 standards are accepted.
Transmission speeds between 32 and 320 kbits/s and scans
between 16 kHz and 48 kHz are accepted.
To display the title information (the name of the artist, the title of the
album, etc...), the information contained in the ID3 Tags or the WMA
Tags must be included in the MP3/WMA files burned onto the disc.
