Precautions when creating MP3/
WMA files
MP3/WMA
● Usable sampling rates and bit rates
• MP3: Sampling rate 11.025 kHz-48 kHz,
Bit rate 8 kbps-320 kbps / VBR
What is MP3?
MP3 is an audio compression method and
classified into audio layer 3 of MPEG standards.
This audio compression method has penetrated
into PC users and become a standard format.
This MP3 features the original audio data
compression to about 10 percent of its initial size
with a high sound quality. This means that about
10 music CDs can be recorded on a CD-R disc or
CD-RW disc to allow a long listening time without
having to change CDs.
• WMA: Bit rate 48 kbps-192 kbps
● File extensions
• Always add a file extension “.MP3” or “.WMA”
to MP3 or WMA file by using single byte letters.
If you add a file extension other than specified
or forget to add the file extension, the file
cannot be played.
• Files without MP3/WMA data will not play. The
indication “--:--” appears in the play time
display if you attempt to play files without MP3/
WMA data.
What is WMA?
WMA is the abbreviation of Windows Media
Audio, an audio file format developed by
Microsoft Corporation.
● Logical format (File system)
• When writing MP3/WMA file on a CD-R disc or
CD-RW disc, please select “ISO9660 level 1, 2
or JOLIET or Romeo” as the writing software
format. Normal play may not be possible if the
disc is recorded on another format.
• The folder name and file name can be
displayed as the title during MP3/WMA play but
the title must be within 128 single byte
alphabetical letters and numerals (including an
extension).
Notes:
• If you play a file with DRM (Digital Rights
Management) for WMA remaining ON, no audio is
output (The WMA indicator blinks).

●To disable DRM (Digital Rights
Management)
1. When using Windows Media Player 9, click on
TOOL ➜ OPTIONS ➜ MUSIC RECORD tab,
then under Recording settings, uncheck the
Check box for RECORD PROTECTED
MUSIC. Then, reconstruct files.

having the same name.
● Folder structure
• A disc with a folder having more than 8
hierarchical levels will be impossible.
Personally constructed WMA files are used at
your own responsibility.
2. When using Windows Media Player 10, click
on TOOLS ➜ OPTIONS ➜ RIP MUSIC tab,
then under RIP SETTINGS, uncheck the
Check box for COPY PROTECT MUSIC.
Then, reconstruct files.
● Number of files or folders
• Up to 255 files can be recognized per folder.
Up to 512 files can be played.
• Tracks are played in the order that they were
recorded onto a disc (Tracks might not always
be played in the order displayed on the PC).
• Some noise may occur depending on the type
of encoder software used while recording.
