A method of compressing audio, MPEG Audio Layer 3 (MP3) allows audio to be reduced to up to one tenth its original size when a compression rate of 128 kbps is used, without overtly hurting audio quality. This unit plays MP3 files in the following order. Numbers such as 1 show the order folders (albums) and files (tracks) within them are played. Example1: Recommended method when creating MP3 discs. Example2: A disc not created in the recommended way. Play will be in the order shown in the below diagram, irrespective of folder and track names, so the order of play in this example will be A#C#G#D, not A#B#C#D. Folders and files in the same level will be played in order according to their names. Folders that do not contain MP3 files ( "Falbum" in the example) are skipped. Example1 Example2 CD-ROM drive CD-ROM drive Limitations on MP3 This unit cannot play files if they have a suffix other than ". mp3" or ". MP3". (Plug in firmly. ) In step 4: The time until play starts depends on the number of files on the disc. If the unit cannot read the disc correctly (it is scratched or dirty or the unit is bumped), some files may be left unread or the disc may not be read at all. The music symbols flash randomly during play. If in Disc mode, play stops after the last track on the disc. If in Album mode, play stops after the last track in the album.
