Besides the traditional audio CDs, this player is meant to play mp3 files encoded on a CD-ROM. You can store up to 12 hours of music on a single disc (at 128kbps). Creating mp3 CDs requires the use of a computer with a CD-R / CD-RW writer and a music management software (MusicMatch Jukebox recommended). To fully enjoy the functionalities of your mp3 CD player, we recommend you to record your mp3 CD using folders and subfolders. Go to www.musicmatch.com for the latest MMJB Software.
