PLAYING MP3 FILES
The music on commercially available music CDs can be converted into MP3 files on a computer using MP3
encoding programs. When this is done, the data is reduced to approximately 1/10 the original size. This MP3 data
can then be stored on a CD-R/RW disc, allowing you to create a single 12 cm CD-R/RW disc containing about 10
times more music than a normal music CD, that is some 100 tracks or more (*).
* This is an approximately value for MP3 files of tracks about 5 minutes long converted at a standard bit rate
(128 kbps) and stored on a CD-R/RW disc with a capacity of 650 MB.
Recordings you make are for your personal use and should not be used in ways infringing upon the copyright
holder as per copyright laws.
MP3 may require time for reading.

To protect copyrights, no digital signals are output when playing MP3 files.
