Bit rate- Bit rate refers to data volume per second, or bps units (bits per second). The higher the rate, the more information is available to reproduce the sound. The higher the rate, the better the sound. Multi −session- Multi −session is a recording method that allows additional data to be recorded later. When recording data on a CD−ROM, CD−R or CD−RW, etc., all data from beginning to end is treated as a single unit or session. Multi −session is a method of recording more than 2 sessions on one disc. CD−DA- CD−DA is an abbreviation for Compact Disc Digital Audio. It refers to the uncompressed format of regular CDs. ID3 Tag- This is a method of embedding track −related information in an MP3 file. This embedded information can include the track title, the artist's name, the album title, the music genre, the year of production, comments and other data. The contents can be freely edited using software with ID3 tag editing functions. Although the tags are restricted to the number of characters, the information can be viewed when the track is played back. WMA Tag- WMA files can contain a WMA tag that is used in the same way as an ID3 tag. WMA tags carry information such as track title, artist name. ISO 9660 format- This is the international standard for the formatting of CD−ROM folders and files. For the ISO 9660 format, there are two levels of regulations.

It compresses files into a size smaller than that of MP3 files. The decoding formats for WMA files are Ver7, 8, and 9. 287
