■MP3, WMA and AAC files MP3 (MPEG Audio LAYER3) is a standard audio compression format.

Files can be compressed to approximately 1/10 of their original size by using MP3 compression.

WMA (Windows Media Audio) is a Microsoft audio compression format.

This product is protected by certain intellectual property rights of Microsoft Corporation and third parties. Use or distribution of such technology outside of this product is prohibited without a license from Microsoft or an authorized Microsoft subsidiary and third parties.

This format compresses audio data to a size smaller than that of the MP3 format.

AAC is short for Advanced Audio Coding and refers to an audio compression technology standard used with MPEG2 and MPEG4.

MP3, WMA and AAC file and media/formats compatibility are limited.

    MP3, WMA and AAC files written in any format other than those listed above may not play correctly, and their file names and folder names may not be displayed correctly.

Items related to standards and limitations are as follows.

  • Maximum directory hierarchy: 8 levels (including the root)
  • Maximum length of folder names/file names: 32 characters
  • Maximum number of folders: 192 (including the root)
  • Maximum number of files per disc: 255
  • File names
    The only files that can be recognized as MP3/WMA/AAC and played are those with the extension .mp3, .wma or .m4a.
  • Discs containing multi-session recordings
    As the multimedia system is compatible with multi session discs, it is possible to play discs that contain MP3, WMA and AAC files. However, only the first session can be played.
  • ID3, WMA and AAC tags
    ID3 tags can be added to MP3 files, making it possible to record the track title, artist name, etc.
    The system is compatible with ID3 Ver. 1.0, 1.1, and Ver. 2.2, 2.3 ID3 tags.

    (The number of characters is based on ID3 Ver. 1.0 and 1.1.)
    WMA tags can be added to WMA files, making it possible to record the track title and artist name in the same way as with ID3 tags.

    AAC tags can be added to AAC files, making it possible to record the track title and artist name in the same way as with ID3 tags.

  • MP3, WMA and AAC playback
    When a disc containing MP3, WMA or AAC files is inserted, all files on the disc are first checked. Once the file check is finished, the first MP3, WMA or AAC file is played. To make the file check finish more quickly, we recommend you do not write any files to the disc other than MP3, WMA or AAC files or create any unnecessary folders.

    Discs that contain a mixture of music data and MP3, WMA or AAC format data cannot be played.

  • Extensions
    If the file extensions .mp3, .wma and .m4a are used for files other than MP3, WMA and AAC files, they may be mistakenly recognized and played as MP3, WMA and AAC files. This may result in large amounts of interference and damage to the speakers.
  • Playback
    • To play MP3 files with steady sound quality, we recommend a fixed bit rate of at least 128 kbps and a sampling frequency of 44.1 kHz.
    • CD-R or CD-RW playback may not be possible in some instances, depending on the characteristics of the disc.
    • There is a wide variety of freeware and other encoding software for MP3, WMA and AAC files on the market, and depending on the status of the encoding and the file format, poor sound quality or noise at the start of playback may result. In some cases, playback may not be possible at all.
    • When files other than MP3, WMA or AAC files are recorded on a disc, it may take more time to recognize the disc and in some cases, playback may not be possible at all.
    • Microsoft, Windows, and Windows Media are the registered trademarks of Microsoft Corporation in the U.S.A. and other countries.
    • This system can playback AAC files encorded by iTunes.
