About MP3 CDs

Figure 12

Example of MP3 CD file

organization

MP3 is a music compression technology that reduces a song's file size without noticeable

effect in the quality of the sound. The MP3 format makes it possible for you to store many

more songs on a single CD than found on a conventional audio CD. In fact, an MP3 CD can

contain as much music as 10 standard audio CDs on just one disc, which then can be orga-

nized into folders on a computer before being stored on the disc.

The order in which MP3 songs are played is determined by how the MP3 files are organized

and stored on the CD. For example, Figure 12 shows the play order of songs that are orga-

nized into four folders.

Folders:

Root level (Folder 00)

Folder 01

Folder 02

Folder 03

The audio quality of MP3 CDs is dependent on factors such as the encoded bit rate, the sam-

pling rate, and the type of encoder used. The Acoustic Wave

CDs encoded at bit rates of 64kbps or higher, and sampling rates of 32kHz or higher. It is rec-

ommended that a bit rate of at least 128kbps and a sampling rate of 44.1kHz or higher be

used.

Note: Playback quality of recorded CD-Rs and CD-RWs is dependent on the CD recording

process and software used to record the disc. An improperly recorded audio CD may cause the

system to exhibit unexpected behavior.
