About MP3
MP3 (MPEG 1 Audio Layer-3) is a standard
technology and format for compressing a sound
sequence. The track is compressed to about
1/10 of its original size. Sounds outside the
range of human hearing are compressed while
the sounds we can hear are not compressed.
Notes on discs
You can play MP3 audio tracks recorded on CD-
ROMs, CD-Rs (recordable CDs), or CD-RWs
(rewritable CDs).
The disc must be in the ISO 9660* level 1, level 2 or
Joliet format.
*ISO 9660 Format
The most common international standard for the
logical format of tracks and albums on a CD-ROM.
There are several specification levels. In Level 1,
track names must be in the 8.3 format (no more than
eight characters in the name, no more than three
characters in the extension “.MP3”) and in capital
letters. Album names can be no longer than eight
characters. There can be no more than eight nested
album levels. Level 2 specifications allow album
names and track names up to 31 characters long.
