MP3 / WMA CD Mode
The Blutune 60 is able to play CD-R and CD-RW discs containing MP3
and WMA fi les. It is recommended that if large numbers of fi les are held
on a CD that they are arranged in folders, either by artist, album or some
other criteria. This will make it easier to fi nd particular fi les when needed.
Multiple levels of folders can be used (up to eight deep). This user guide
refers to albums and tracks when making music selections. Tracks are
equivalent to fi les on the disc and albums are equivalent to folders.
An MP3 / WMA CD should not contain more than 999 fi les and not more
than 99 folders. MP3 and WMA fi les should be created with an audio sample
rate of 44.1kHz (this is normal for fi les created from CD audio content).
MP3 and WMA data rates up to 320 kilobits per second are supported.
WMA Lossless, WMA Voice, WMA 10 Professional and fi les which have
DRM protection are not supported.
When burning CD-R and CD-RW discs with audio fi les, various problems
may arise which could lead to problems with playback. Typically such
problems are caused by poor CD writing or audio encoding software, or
by the hardware settings of the PC's CD writer, or by the CD being used.
Should such problems arise, contact the customer services of your CD
writer or software manufacturer or look in their product documentation
for relevant information. When you are making audio CDs, take care to
observe all legal requirements and ensure that the copyright of third par-
ties is not infringed.
If there are many fi les or folders on the CD then it may take some tens of
seconds to read all of the fi le and folder names and to identify those which
are playable (with .mp3 or .wma fi lename extension).
