The MP3 format enables audio files to be saved on a computer with a sound quality similar to that of a CD. The standard encoding byte rate for MP3 files is 128 kbps. Generally, the higher the byte rate of a an MP3 file, the better the sound quality. Most MP3 files in the Internet are encoded at 128 or 160 kbps. MP3 files can be downloaded from the Internet and then burned onto a CD-ROM disc. Your DVD player can read the ID3 tag from the file header, which contains information on title and artist, and display this in the info menu/status display. They can be played in the normal manner on an audio system. The digital signals transmitted during MP3 playback are PCM coded, regardless of the audio output setting. The signals are output with the same data rate as the music source (possibilities are: 32 kbps ­ 320 kbps, ideal: 128 kbps). MP3 files can be organised into folders and subfolders, similar to files within a PC. 28 PLAYBACK AUDIO/VIDEO FILES_________ Playback ROOT/MP3 Sting - Terra d´Oru. mp3 Bob Dylan ­ Tangled up in blue. mp3 Bob Dylan ­ Simple twist of fate. mp3 Bon Jovi ­ Bed of roses. mp3 Supertramp ­ Crime of the Century. mp3 Bon Jovi ­ Bed of roses. mp3 Dire Straits ­ Brothers in arms. mp3 Donovan ­ Universal soldier. mp3 1 After the disc compartment shuts and the DivX©Video CD/MP3 CD is scanned, the file browser (the table of contents) of the DivX©Video CD/MP3 CD is displayed.
