About creating a tag information library

About operations during library creation
• Search function does not work properly while a library is being created.
• The order in which songs are played during library creation may differ from the order in the disc.

About MP3/WMA/AAC
CAUTION
Except for private use, duplicating audio data (including MP3/
WMA/AAC data) or distributing, transferring, or copying it, whether for free or for a fee, without permission of the copyright holder is strictly prohibited by the Copyright Act and by international treaty.
What is MP3?
MP3, whose official name is “MPEG Audio Layer 3”, is a compression standard prescribed by the ISO, the International
Standardisation Organisation and MPEG which is a joint activity institution of the IEC.
MP3 files contain compressed audio data. MP3 encoding is capable of compressing audio data at extremely high ratios, reducing the size of music files to as much as one-tenth their original size. This is achieved while still maintaining near CD quality. The MP3 format realises such high compression ratios by eliminating the sounds that are either inaudible to the human ear or masked by other sounds.
What is WMA?
WMA, or “Windows Media™ Audio”, is compressed audio data.
WMA is similar to MP3 audio data.
What is AAC?
AAC is the abbreviation for “Advanced Audio Coding”, and is a basic format of audio compression used by MPEG2 or MPEG4.
Method for creating MP3/WMA/AAC files
Audio data is compressed using software with MP3/WMA/AAC codecs. For details on creating MP3/WMA/AAC files, refer to the user’s manual for that software.
MP3/WMA/AAC files that are playable on this device have the file extensions.
MP3: “mp3”
WMA: “wma” (ver. 7.x, 8.x, 9.x are supported)
AAC: “m4a”
WMA is not supported for the following files, Windows Media
Audio Professional, Windows Media Audio 9 Voice or Windows
Media Audio 9 Pro Lossless.
There are many different versions of the AAC format. Confirm that the software being used conforms to the acceptable formats listed above. It’s possible that the format may be unplayable even though the extension is valid.
Playback of AAC files encoded by iTunes is supported.

ID3 tags/WMA tags
This device supports ID3 tag v1.0, v1.1, v2.2, v2.3, v2.4, and
WMA tag Ver.1.x. If tag data is in an MP3/WMA/AAC file, this device can display the title (track title), artist name, and album name ID3 tag/WMA tag data (maximum 64 characters).
For non-supported characters, “?” is displayed.
The number of characters may be limited, or not correctly displayed, depending on the tag information.
Playing back MP3/WMA/AAC
MP3/WMA/AAC files are prepared, then written to a CD-R, CD-
RW (DVD-R/DVD-RW/DVD+R/DVD+RW) using CD-R writing software and USB memory.
• Maximum numbers of playable files/folders
Disc: 1,000 files/folders (including Root Folder/DivX
®
file)
USB memory: 10,000 files/folders (including Root Folder/
DivX
®
file)
• Largest playable file size: 512 MB
Playback may not be performed if a disc exceeds the limitations described above.
If a file/folder name is long, the maximum possible number of files may decrease.
• Both Audio and Video files are counted if their formats are playable on this unit.
Media supported
The media that this device can play back are CD-ROMs, CD-Rs,
CD-RWs, DVD-Rs, DVD-RWs, DVD+Rs, DVD+RWs and USB memory.
Corresponding File Systems
This device supports discs formatted with ISO9660 Level 1 or
Level 2, UDF1.02 and UDF1.02(ISO Bridge).
Under the ISO9660 standard, there are some restrictions to remember.
The maximum nested folder depth is 8 (including the root directory). File names are limited to 256 characters (including the extension).
Valid characters for folder/file names are letters A-Z (all caps), numbers 0-9, and ‘_’ (underscore).
This device can play back discs in Joliet, Romeo, etc., and other standards that conform to ISO9660. However, sometimes the file names, folder names, etc., are not displayed correctly.
Formats supported
This device supports CD-ROM Mode1, CD-ROM XA
Mode2(Form1&2), Mixed Mode CD and Multi-Session.
This device cannot correctly play back discs recorded with
Track At Once or packet writing.
Order of files
Files are played back in the order that the writing software writes them to the disc. Therefore, the playback order may not be what’s expected. Verity the writing order in the software’s documentation. The playback order of the folders and files is as follows. (The following numbers may differ from actually displayed numbers.)

Terminology
Folder MP3/WMA/AAC File
Bit rate
This is the “sound” compression rate specified for encoding. The higher the bit rate, the higher the sound quality, but also the larger the files.
Sampling rate
This value shows how many times per second the data is sampled
(recorded). For example, music CDs use a sampling rate of 44.1 kHz, so the sound is sampled (recorded) 44,100 times per second. The higher the sampling rate, the higher the sound quality, but also the larger the volume of data.
Encoding
Converting music CDs, WAVE (AIFF) files, and other sound files into the specified audio compression format.
Tag
Song information such as track titles, artist names, album names, etc., written into MP3/WMA/AAC files.
Root folder
The root folder (or root directory) is found at the top of the file system. The root folder contains all folders and files. It is created automatically for all burned discs.
