A file that is not an MP3 (or WMA) but has an MP3 (or WMA) file nameextension may cause noise or unexpected results when you try to play it. Other kinds ofcontent may cause a disc not to play, or to create noise, or distort the output.The device used to create discs with MP3 or WMA files on them must be ISO 9660 Level1 or 2 compliant, and the CDs must be created using physical format Mode1, or Mode2XA Form1. The Recorder is compatible with both Romeo and Joliet file systems.Bit Rate.
