AAC

AAC is short for Advanced Audio Coding and

refers to an audio compression technology

standard used with MPEG 2 and MPEG 4.

Bit rate

This expresses data volume per second, or bps

units (bits per second). The higher the rate,

the more information is available to reproduce

the sound. Using the same encoding method

(such as MP3), the higher the rate, the better

the sound.

ID3 tag

This is a method of embedding track-related

information in an MP3 file. This embedded in-

formation can include the track title, the ar-

tists name, the album title, the music genre,

the year of production, comments and other

data. The contents can be freely edited using

software with ID3 Tag editing functions.

Although the tags are restricted as to the num-

ber of characters, the information can be

viewed when the track is played back.

ISO9660 format

This is the international standard for the for-

mat logic of CD-ROM folders and files. For the

ISO9660 format, there are regulations for the

following two levels.

Level1:

The file name is in 8.3 format (the name con-

sists of up to 8 characters, half-byte English

capital letters and half-byte numerals and the

_ sign, with a file-extension of three charac-

ters).

Level2:

The file name can have up to 31 characters (in-

cluding the separation mark . and a file ex-

tension). Each folder contains less than 8

hierarchies.

Extended formats

Linear PCM (LPCM)/Pulse code

modulation

This stands for linear pulse code modulation,

which is the signal recording system used for

music CDs and DVDs.

m3u

Playlists created using the WINAMP soft-

ware have a playlist file extension (.m3u).

MP3

MP3 is short for MPEG Audio Layer 3. It is an

audio compression standard set by a working

group (MPEG) of the ISO (International Stan-

dards Organization). MP3 is able to compress

audio data to about 1/10th the level of a con-

ventional disc.

MS ADPCM

This stands for Microsoft adaptive differential

pulse code modulation, which is the signal re-

cording system used for the multimedia soft-

ware of Microsoft Corporation.

Multi-session

Multi-session is a recording method that al-

lows additional data to be recorded later.

When recording data on a CD-ROM, CD-R or

CD-RW, etc., all data from beginning to end is

treated as a single unit or session. Multi-ses-

sion is a method of recording more than 2 ses-

sions on one disc.
