Since the audio is compressed, it takes up less space. Obtaining MP3 Files There are two ways to obtain MP3 files: · Use your computer software to encode MP3 files from an audio CD -- you can download the software from some internet sites such as MusicMatch. Some internet sites allow you to download MP3 files for free, and some charge a fee. Creating an MP3 Disc on Your Computer Your DVD player handles MPEG-1, layer III audio. If you encode your own MP3 files from an audio CD, avoid using the features of MPEG-2, such as the 22kHz sampling frequency. If you make an audio CD, you will lose the extra features and compression of the MP3 format. When you burn a CD, take the following steps to get optimal use of the CD for playing in your DVD player. In your CD burning software, select ISO-9660 for the file system. Notes: Help -- For more information regarding MP3 encoding software and MP3 sites, visit www. lyrazone. com. Some transport modes (reverse and fast forward) are not available for MP3 CDs. 30 1590940A 3/7/02 9:22 AM Page 31 Chapter 3: Playing Discs (MP3s) The MP3 Display MP3 discs contain individual songs that can be organized into folders -- similar to how you use your computer to put documents (files) into different folders when you burn them onto the CD. The contents of a folder can either be songs or more folders (subdirectories). Selecting Folders and Songs Playback begins automatically when you insert an MP3 disc into the player. The player will begin playing the songs in the order they were burned on the disc. To open a folder, use the arrow buttons on the remote to highlight the folder and press OK (the songs in the folder appear). Use the up/down arrow buttons to highlight the song you want from the song list. Use the CH-button to move to the beginning of the song that's currently playing.
