Playing order of ATRAC CDs and MP3 CDs
For ATRAC CDs, files are played in the order selected in
SonicStage.
For MP3 CDs, the playing order may differ depending on
the method used to record MP3 files on the disc. In the
following example, files are played in order of 1 to 7.
Notes on ATRAC CDs
Maximum number of groups: 255
Maximum number of files: 999
CD-Rs/CD-RWs recorded in the ATRAC3plus/ATRAC3 format
cannot be played on your computer.
Notes on MP3 CDs
Maximum number of groups: 100
Maximum number of files: 400

•A group that does not include an MP3 file is skipped.
Be sure to add the file extension “mp3” to the file name.
However, if you add the file extension “mp3” to a file other than
an MP3 file, the player will not be able to recognize the file
properly.
This player can play bit rates of 16 to 320 kbps, and sampling
frequencies of 32/44.1/ 48 kHz. Variable Bit Rate (VBR) file
can also be played.
To compress a source in an MP3 file, we recommend setting the
compression parameters to “44.1 kHz,” “128 kbps,” and
“Constant Bit Rate.”
To record up to the maximum capacity, set the writing software
to “halting of writing.”
To record to the maximum capacity at one time up on media that
has nothing recorded on it, set the writing software to “Disc at
Once.”
