BASIC INTRODUCTION TO MP3

MP3 files are music files which have been compressed into the MP3 format.

The player plays MP3 files which have been written onto a CD disc.



To play MP3 files on this player, you

will need to make (record) a disc with

these MP3 files on them.



The first thing you will need is an

IBM compatible PC computer (at

least Pentium class) or an apple

computer (at least G3 class) with

lots of RAM and a CD-R or CD-RW

writer. Then you will need some

software. (Either it is in your new

computer already or you may have to

buy this from MusicMatch or a similar

company. You may go to the

Website www.musicmatch.com or

www.nero.com.)

NOTE: Most audio CD players cannot

play MP3 files. This player can

play both MP3 and normal

music files. (It

WILL NOT

play

CDs that have

BOTH MP3

and

normal audio files on the same

CD.)



If you want to convert your existing

records or tapes to MP3 discs, you

will need to record them using a sound

card with appropriate jacks. You will

also need software such as

MusicMatch or RealJukebox and a

set of audio cables to connect your

tape player to your sound card.



To download an MP3 file (song) from

a website (like www.mp3.com), go to

http://www.mp3.com and you can find

a search link at the top of the

homepage that allows you to search

for MP3 files. Input a key word and

click on that link and you will find many

songs by many new artists. To

download an MP3 file, click on

software, then get MP3 link or newer

software, register and click on

download. We recommend you make

a new folder for MP3 files.



Successful recording of a CD needs

an uninterrupted stream of high

speed data. For best results, limit or

close your other programs on the

computer while recording to prevent

buffer underruns or empty spots on

the disc.

(NOTE: You can also learn all about

MP3 at the mp3.com site)



You can play MP3 songs on most

computers of today or you can

highlight them for downloading &

burning (recording) them onto a

CD later. Note this player will play

MP3 songs which end in the extension

.MP3 (dot MP3). You can select how

to save a file, select .MP3 as the

correct extension on your computer.



MP3 opens a whole new world of

music to you. Learn about this

exciting new format and enjoy.



We recommend you get some books

or information from the internet to help

you learn this exciting new way to

store & play hundreds of songs in

MP3 format. Also you may search

the web for MP3 and you will

immediately find a world of information

and songs.



You will also need blank CDs that

are recordable, these are called

CD-R or CD-RW (CD-R discs can

be recorded on only once, CD-RW

can be erased and rewritten but are

much more expensive).



If you want to record your favorite

music CDs as an MP3, you need to

convert them into MP3 format.

Ripping is the term used for

converting audio files into MP3

format.
