The MP3 format enables audio files to be saved on a computer with a sound quality similar to that of a CD. Generally, the higher the bit rate of a an MP3 file, the better the sound quality. MP3 files can be downloaded from the Internet and then burned onto a CD-ROM disc. Your DVD player can read the ID3 tag from the file header, which contains information on title and artist, and display this in the info menu/status display. The digital signals transmitted during MP3 playback are PCM coded, regardless of the audio output setting. The signals are output with the same data rate as the music source (possibilities are: 32 kbps ­ 320 kbps, ideal: 128 kbps). MP3 files can be organised in albums (directories) and files in a similar way to directories and files on a computer.
