Playing music file (MP3) CDs
All manuals and user guides at all-guides.com
Your Wave
®
music system can play MP3 music files recorded on CD-R and CD-RW discs.
You can easily navigate through your music files using the Tune/MP3 and Seek/Track
remote control buttons.
Note: MP3 is a music compression technology that reduces a song's file size without noticeable
effect in the quality of the sound. Through compression algorithms, the MP3 format makes it
easy for you to store many times the number of songs you would find on a conventional audio
CD. In fact, an MP3 CD can contain as much music as ten standard audio CDs on just one disc,
which can then be organised into folders on a computer before being stored on the disc.
Music files on an MP3 CD are played according to the folder structure on the disc.
For example:
Folders on CD:
Root level (00)
Track 1
Track 2
Track 8
Folder 01
Folder 02
Folder 03
To play, pause, stop or eject an
MP3 CD, use the same remote
control buttons as for an audio
CD. See "Playing audio compact
discs (CDs)" on page 12.
The Wave
®
music system will display artist name and song title information when available on
music file CDs.
Note: The audio quality of MP3 CDs is dependent on factors such as the encoded bit rate, the
sampling rate and the type of encoder used. The Wave
encoded at bit rates of 64kbps or higher, and sampling rates of 32kHz or higher. It is
recommended that a bit rate of at least 128kbps and a sampling rate of 44.1kHz or better be
used.
Note: Playback quality of recorded CD-R and CD-RW discs is dependent on the CD recording
process and software used to record the disc. An improperly recorded audio CD may cause the
system to exhibit unexpected behaviour.
