 MP3 and WMA files

MP3 (MPEG Audio LAYER3) is a Microsoft audio compression format.

Files can be compressed to approximately 1/10 of their original size by using

MP3 compression.

5

WMA (Windows Media Audio) is a Microsoft audio compression format.

This format compresses audio data to a size smaller than that of the MP3 for-

mat.

There is a limit to the MP3 and WMA file standards and to the media/formats

recorded by them that can be used.

 MP3 file compatibility

5-4. Playing audio CDs and MP3/WMA discs

 WMA file compatibility

• Compatible standards

WMA Ver. 7, 8, 9

• Compatible sampling frequencies

32, 44.1, 48 (kHz)

• Compatible bit rates (only compatible with 2-channel playback)

Ver. 9: CBR 48, 64, 80, 96, 128, 160, 192, 256, 320 (kbps)

 Compatible media

Media that can be used for MP3 and WMA playback are CD-Rs and CD-

RWs.

Playback in some instances may not be possible, depending on the status

of the CD-R or CD-RW. Playback may not be possible or the audio may

jump if the disc is scratched or marked with fingerprints.

 Compatible disc formats

The following disc formats can be used.

• Disc formats: CD-ROM Mode 1 and Mode 2

CD-ROM XA Mode 2, Form 1 and Form 2

• File formats: ISO9660 Level 1, Level 2, (Romeo, Joliet)

MP3 and WMA files written in any format other than those listed above

may not play correctly, and their file names and folder names may not be

displayed correctly.

Items related to standards and limitations are as follows.

• Maximum directory hierarchy: 8 levels

• Maximum length of folder names/file names: 32 characters

• Maximum number of folders: 192 (including the root)

• Maximum number of files per disc: 255

 File names

The only files that can be recognized as MP3/WMA and played are those

with the extension .mp3 or .wma.

 Multi-sessions

As the audio system is compatible with multi-sessions, it is possible to play

discs that contain MP3 and WMA files. However, only the first session can

be played.

263

5-4. Playing audio CDs and MP3/WMA discs

 ID3 and WMA tags

ID3 tags can be added to MP3 files, making it possible to record the track

title, artist name, etc.

The system is compatible with ID3 Ver. 1.0, 1.1, and Ver. 2.2, 2.3 ID3 tags.

(The number of characters is based on ID3 Ver. 1.0 and 1.1.)

WMA tags can be added to WMA files, making it possible to record the

track title and artist name in the same way as with ID3 tags.

 MP3 and WMA playback

When a disc containing MP3 or WMA files is inserted, all files on the disc

are first checked. Once the file check is finished, the first MP3 or WMA file

is played. To make the file check finish more quickly, we recommend you do

not write in any files other than MP3 or WMA files or create any unneces-

sary folders.

If the discs contain a mixture of music data and MP3 or WMA format data,

only music data can be played.

 Extensions

If the file extensions .mp3 and .wma are used for files other than MP3 and

WMA files, they will be mistakenly recognized and played as MP3 and

WMA files. This may result in large amounts of interference and damage to

the speakers.

5

 Playback

• To play MP3 files with steady sound quality, we recommend a fixed bit

rate of 128 kbps and a sampling frequency of 44.1 kHz.

• CD-R or CD-RW playback may not be possible in some instances,

depending on the characteristics of the disc.

• There is a wide variety of freeware and other encoding software for MP3

and WMA files on the market, and depending on the status of the encod-

ing and the file format, poor sound quality or noise at the start of playback

may result. In some cases, playback may not be possible at all.

• When files other than MP3 or WMA files are recorded on a disc, it may

take more time to recognize the disc and in some cases, playback may

not be possible at all.

• Microsoft, Windows, and Windows Media are the registered trademarks

of Microsoft Corporation in the U.S. and other countries.

 USB memory

 Compatible devices

USB memory that can be used for MP3 and WMA playback

 Compatible device formats

The following device formats can be used:

• USB communication formats: USB2.0 FS (12 Mbps)

• File formats: FAT12/16/32 (Windows)

• Correspondence class: Mass storage class

MP3 and WMA files written in any format other than those listed above may

not play correctly, and their file names and folder names may not be dis-

played correctly.

Items related to standards and limitations are as follows:

• Maximum directory hierarchy: 8 levels

• Maximum number of folders in a device: 999 (including the root)

• Maximum number of files in a device: 9999

• Maximum number of files per folder: 255

 MP3 and WMA files

MP3 (MPEG Audio LAYER 3) is a standard audio compression format.

Files can be compressed to approximately 1/10 of their original size using

MP3 compression.

WMA (Windows Media Audio) is a Microsoft audio compression format.

This format compresses audio data to a size smaller than that of the MP3

format.

There is a limit to the MP3 and WMA file standards that can be used and to

the media/formats on which the files are recorded.

 MP3 file compatibility

 File names

The only files that can be recognized as MP3/WMA and played are those

with the extension .mp3 or .wma.

 ID3 and WMA tags

ID3 tags can be added to MP3 files, making it possible to record the track

title, artist name, etc.

The system is compatible with ID3 Ver. 1.0, 1.1, and Ver. 2.2, 2.3, 2.4 ID3

tags. (The number of characters is based on ID3 Ver. 1.0 and 1.1.)

WMA tags can be added to WMA files, making it possible to record the

track title and artist name in the same way as with ID3 tags.

 MP3 and WMA playback

• When a device containing MP3 or WMA files is connected, all files in the

USB memory are checked. Once the file check is finished, the first MP3

or WMA file is played. To make the file check finish more quickly, we rec-

ommend that you do not include any files other than MP3 or WMA files or

create any unnecessary folders.

5

• When the USB memory is connected and the audio source is changed to

USB memory mode, the USB memory will start playing the first file in the

first folder. If the same device is removed and reinserted (and the con-

tents have not been changed), the USB memory will resume play from

the same point in which it was last used.

 Extensions

If the file extensions .mp3 and .wma are used for files other than MP3 and

WMA files, they will be skipped (not played).

 Playback

• To play MP3 files with steady sound quality, we recommend a fixed bit

rate of at least 128 kbps and a sampling frequency of 44.1 kHz.

• There is a wide variety of freeware and other encoding software for MP3

and WMA files on the market, and depending on the status of the encod-

ing and the file format, poor sound quality or noise at the start of playback

may result. In some cases, playback may not be possible at all.

Microsoft Corporation in the U.S.A. and other countries.

WARNING

Caution while driving

Do not connect USB memory or operate the controls.

NOTICE

If the glove box cannot be fully closed

Depending on the size and shape of the USB memory that is connected to

the system, the glove box may not close fully. In this case, do not try to forc-

ibly close the glove box, as this may damage the USB memory or the termi-

nal, etc. Remove the USB memory, and use a different USB memory with a

size and shape that allows the glove box to close fully when connected to

the system.

To prevent damage to USB memory

 Do not leave USB memory in the vehicle. The temperature inside the vehi-

cle may become high, resulting in damage to the player.

 Do not push down on or apply unnecessary pressure to the USB memory

while it is connected as this may damage the USB memory or its terminal.

 Do not insert foreign objects into the port as this may damage the USB

memory or its terminal.
