Using an MP3 CD
MP3 Format
This MP3 player will accept MP3 les that were recorded
on an up to 700 MB CD-R CD. The les can be recorded
with the following xed bit rates: 32 kpbs, 40 kpbs,
56 kpbs, 64 kpbs, 80 kpbs, 96 kpbs, 112 kpbs, 128 kpbs,
160 kpbs, 192 kpbs, 224 kpbs, 256 kpbs, and 320 kpbs
or a variable bit rate. Song title, artist name, and album
will be available when recorded using ID3 tags versions 1
and 2.
The player will be able to read and play a maximum of
50 folders, 50 playlists, 10 sessions, and 255 les. Long
le, folder, or playlist names or a combination of a large
number of les and folders or playlists may cause the
player to be unable to play up to the maximum number
of les, folders, playlists, or sessions. If you wish to play
large numbers of les, folders, playlists or sessions
minimize the length of the le, folder or playlist name.
You can also play an MP3 CD that was recorded using
no le folders. The system can support up to 11 folders in
depth, though, keep the depth of the folders to a minimum
in order to keep down the complexity and confusion in
trying to locate a particular folder during playback. If a
CD contains more than the maximum of 50 folders,
50 playlists, 10 sessions, and 255 les the player will let
you access and navigate up to the maximum, but all
items over the maximum will be ignored.
