When naming your MP3 files do not exceed 8 characters, and place ".mp3" as the file  
extension. General name format of: Title.mp3. When composing your title, make sure that you

Use a decompression transfer rate of at least 128 Kbps when recording MP3 files.  
Sound quality with MP3 files basically depends on the rate of compression/decompression you  
choose. Getting audio CD quality sound requires an analog/digital sampling rate (conversion  
to MP3 format) of at least 128 Kbps and up to 160 Kbps. However, choosing higher rates, like  
192 Kbps or more, only rarely give better sound quality. Conversely, files with sampling rates
