MP3 music �les
The music compression technology MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer 3) reduce the size of digital data of an audio CD signi�cantly while maintaining CD-like sound quality. With MP3 you can record up to 10 hours of CD-like music on a single CD-ROM. How to get music �les Either download legal music �les from the Internet to your computer hard disk 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 �les.

MP3 music �les
How to organize music �les In order to easily handle the large number of music �les on a CD-ROM, you can organize them in folders (�albums�). The tracks of an album will be played in alphabetical order. If you want to arrange them in a certain order, let the �le names start with numbers. For example:

001-ONEWORLD.MP3 002-FIRESTARTER.MP3 003-DEEP.MP3
The albums will be arranged in alphabetical order. If albums are located in an album, they will be played after this album. Albums without MP3 �les will be skipped. If there are MP3 �les which you did not put into an album, you will �nd them in the album Various with album number 0. Various is the �rst album that will be played. How to make a CD-ROM with MP3 Use your computer´s CD burner to record (�burn�) the music �les from your hard disc on a CD-ROM. Use either ISO 9660 disc format or UDF. Some CD burner software like e. g. �DirectCD� support the UDF format. Make sure that the �le names of the MP3 �les end with .mp3.
