5. File Formate

5.1 MP3 File

MPEG Layer-3 (short MP3) is a perceptual audio coding scheme, exploiting the properties of the human ear, and trying to maintain the original sound quality as far as possible. It was developed by Fraunhofer IIS. For more information look there.

5.2 M3U List

M3U list is a simple text-file with a list of MP3 files.

5.3 JBD File

JBD (= JukeBoxDatabase) is my own fileformat. It is a text file where all tags and layer informations are saved. I need a own format because I have additional tags which can't be saved in the MP3 file (it is possible, but only in the comment field). The order of the field is: title, artist, album, year, comment, genre, seconds, first seconds, last seconds, bitrate, samplerate, stereomode, layer, size, filename.

5.4 Free File Format

With this import option you can import a text file with your own order of the tags. The order is set in the settings menu. If you forget the filename, the song should not be loaded. If you press the standard button in the setting you get a format for a JBD file.
