This is the most common of international standards for the logical
format of files and folders on a CDROM.
There are different levels of specification. For level 1, the names
must be capitalized in 8.3 format (8 characters maximum for the
name of the file + 3 characters for the extension “.MP3”). The
folder names cannot be more than 8 letters long. No more than
8 levels of subfolders are possible. However, the level 2
specifications allow up to 31 characters.
MMuullttiisseessssiioonn
Thismethod ofrecording means that information may later be
added to the CD (while there is enough space remaining and the
CD is not closed). The information on each recorded CD is
contained within an area marked by two data labels called “Lead
in” for the beginning of the area and “Leadout” for the finalization
of the area. A multisession CD will allow for multiple segments
that contain their own “Leadin” and “Leadout”.
––CCDDEExxttrraa ((EEnnhhaanncceedd CCDD)): this format records audio (audio data
CD) in the session 1 and information (MP3) in session 2.
––MMiixxeedd CCDD: thisformat records (MP3) in the session 1 and
information audio (audio data CD) in session 2.
