About MP3
The music compression technology MP3 (MPEG Audio
Layer 3) reduces the digital data of an audio CD
significantly while maintaining CD-like sound quality.
How to get music files
Either download legal music files from the internet to
your computer hard disc or create them from your own
audio CDs. For this, insert an audio CD into your
computer´s CD-ROM drive and convert the music
using an appropriate encoder software. To achieve a
good sound quality, a bit rate of 128 kbps or higher is
recommended for MP3 music files.
How to make a CD-ROM with MP3 files
Use your computer´s CD burner to record (“burn”) the
music files from your hard disc on a CD-ROM.
Helpful Hints:
– For details on using MP3 encoder and writing soft-
ware, please refer to the operating instructions of
the software.
– Make sure that the file names of the MP3 files end
with .mp3.
– Total number of music files and albums: around 350
(with a typical file name length of 20 characters)
