MP3 / WMA CD Mode

The MP-43 is able to play CD-R and CD-RW discs containing MP3 and

WMA files. It is assumed in this section that a file is equivalent to a CD

track.

An MP3 / WMA CD may not contain more than 511 files and not more than

99 folders. MP3 and WMA files should be created with an audio sample

rate of 44.1kHz (this is normal for files created from CD audio content).

MP3 and WMA data rates up to 320 kilobits per second are supported.

WMA Lossless files are not supported. The unit will not play files which

include digital rights management (DRM) protection.

When burning CD-R and CD-RW discs with audio files, various problems

may arise which could lead to problems with playback. Typically such

problems are caused by poor CD writing or audio encoding software, or

by the hardware settings of the PC's CD writer, or by the CD being used.

Should such problems arise, contact the customer services of your CD

writer or software manufacturer or look in their product documentation

for relevant information. When you are making audio CDs, take care to

observe all legal guidelines and ensure that the copyright of third parties

is not infringed.

1. To select the CD mode press the Media button until "CD" shows on

the display, or insert a suitably prepared CD-R or CD-RW disc.

2. Insert a CD with printed side facing up into the CD slot. The disc will

be loaded automatically. The unit will check the CD type and load its

track list. The display will show "loading" and then "reading" as the

information is read.

If there are many files or folders on the CD then it may take some

tens of seconds to read all of the file and folder names and to identify

those which are playable (with .mp3 or .wma filename extension).
