[. . . ] ID3 tag information is displayed on the Album/Track title line on the player's LCD. MP3 MP3 is short for Moving Pictures Experts Group Audio Layer 3. This format allows for near "CD quality" sound, but at a fraction of the size of normal audio files. MP3 conversion of an audio track from CD-ROM reduces the file size by approximately a 12:1 ratio with virtually no perceptible loss in quality. MP3 compression removes the redundant and irrelevant parts of a sound signal that the human ear doesn't hear. This digital sound encoding and compression process was developed by the Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits and Thomson Multimedia. Red Book Red Book is the name of the original specifications for the compact disc (CD). Developed by Sony and Philips, Red Book specifications became standardized requirements for all Audio (CD-DA) CDs and today form the basis for almost all CD format specifications. When playing Audio CDs the player provides 40 seconds of skip protection. ESP remains on during all MP3 playback. How does Electronic Shock Protection work? When the player starts, a buffer is filled with the track data. The CD stops spinning, and the tracks continue to play from memory, which helps conserve battery life. When about 30 seconds of time remains in the buffer, the CD will again spin up and refill the buffer. During this time, if the RioVolt is jarred so that the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) Contents Index 15 buffer cannot be filled (e. g. , when jogging or riding a bicycle) then the player may begin to skip. The buffer must be full in order to provide skip-free performance. How much playtime can I get from 2 AA batteries? Playtime varies with battery type and music content. However, as a general guideline the following applies: Playback Format Audio CD (ESP on) Audio CD (ESP off) MP3 CD Hours of Playtime (approximate) 7 hours 9 hours 15 hours The CD seems to stop spinning during playback. Stopping the CD is part of the skip protection and battery life management systems. When the CD is stopped, the RioVolt conserves power and plays songs from memory. Troubleshooting Contents Index 16 Troubleshooting Problem I am only able to fit 10 to 15 songs on a CD-R or CD-RW for my RioVolt. After creating a CD using DirectCD the RioVolt will not read it properly. This happens when using new batteries or an AC power adapter (not included). The RioVolt is working with batteries, but when I plug in an AC adapter (not included) it does not work. Solution If you are only able to fit 10 to 15 songs on a CD-R or CD-RW for use in your RioVolt, then it is likely you are creating the CD in audio or . wav format instead of data format. You should be able to fit hundreds of tracks onto one CD using MP3 files. Consult the documentation that came with your burning software for further assistance on "ripping and burning" digital audio in MP3 format. If the RioVolt is having trouble reading a CD created using DirectCD, make sure that the CD is formatted with compression OFF.
