NOTES ON MP3 DISCS
An MP3 file stores audio data compressed using MPEG 1/2, the audio layer-3 file-coding scheme.
In this manual, we refer to what, in PC terminology, are called “folders” and “Files” as “albums” and
“tracks” respectively.
Notes on playing MP3 discs
• An MP3 track must be recorded on a disc in the format compliant with ISO 9660. Note however,
that system may not play tracks in the order they were recorded.
• The maximum allowable number of tracks and/or albums in a disc is 255, including the root
albums (directory).
• The maximum allowable depth of a nested folder is 8, including tracks. Note that since the
maximum path length is 128 characters long, the total number of characters including slashes,
hyphens and underscores from the root album name to the track name must be less than 128.
• If a disc contains audio tracks and MP3 tracks, the system can only play audio tracks.
• The system can play multi-session discs correctly.
• The system can play only MP3 tracks which were converted with a sampling frequency of 44,1
kHz and a fixed or variable bit rate.
• The system may not play MP3 tracks recorded using a packet writing utility.
• The system can play only MP3 tracks having the file extension “.mp3”.
• It may take 30 seconds or more before the system can start playback of MP3 tracks, depending
on the number of recorded tracks and the complexity of the album tree.
