Playing music file (MP3)
CDs
music system III 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
organized into folders on a PC before being stored on the
disc.
Music files on an MP3 CD are played according to the
folder structure on the disc.
