following.  
- Your MP3 or WMA files should be in ISO 9660 or JOLIET format.  
ISO 9660 format and Joliet MP3 or WMA files are compatible with Microsoft's DOS and  
Windows, and with Apple's Mac.This format is the most widely used.

- Use a decompression transfer rate of at least 128 Kbps when recording MP3 files.  
Sound quality with MP3 files depends on the rate of compression/ decompression you choose.  
Getting CD audio sound requires an analog/digital sampling rate, that is conversion to MP3 for-  
mat, of at least 128 Kbps and up to 160 Kbps. However, choosing higher rates, like 192Kbps or  
more, only rarely gives better sound quality. Files with decompression rates below 128 Kbps will  
not be played properly.  
- Use a decompression transfer rate of at least 64Kbps when recording WMA files.  
Sound quality with WMA files depends on the rate of compression/decompression you choose.  
Getting CD audio sound requires an analog/digital sampling rate, that is conversion to WMA  
format, of at least 64Kbps and up to 192Kbps. Files with decompression rates below 64Kbps or  
over 192Kbps will not be played properly. The sampling rate that can be supported for WMA files  
is >30 Khz.  
Clips Menu for MP3/WMA/JPEG/CD Audio
