What Is MP3?
MP3, whose official name
is
"MPEG-l Audio Layer 3," is a
compression standard prescribed by the ISO, the International
Standardization Organization and
MPEG
which
is
a joint activity
institution of the IEC.
MP3 files contain compressed audio data. MP3 encoding
is
capable of compressing audio data
at
extremely high ratios,
reducing the size of music files to as much as one-tenth their
original size. This is achieved while still maintaining near CO
quality. The MP3 format realizes such high compression ratios
by
eliminating the sounds that are either inaudible to the human
ear or masked by other sounds.
What
isAAC?
AAC
is
the abbreviation for "Advanced Audio Coding", and
is
a
basic format of audio compression used by MPEG2 or MPEG4.
What
is
WMA?
WMA, or "Windows Median
..
Audio," is compressed audio data.
WMA is similar to MP3 audio data and can achieve CD quality
sound with small file sizes.
Method for creating MP3IWMAlAAC files
Audio data is compressed using software with MP3/WMNAAC
codecs. For details on creating MP3/WMNAAC files, refer to the
user's manual for that software.
MP3/WMA/AAC files that are playable on this device have the
file extensions.
MP3: "mp3"
WMA: "wma" (ver.
7.1,8
and 9 are supported)
AAC: "m4a"
There are many different versions of the AAC format. Confirm
that the software being used conforms to the acceptable
formats listed above. It's possible that the format may be
unplayable even though the extension
is
valid.
Playback of AAC files encoded by iTunes
is
supported.

CO-RW using CO-R writing software or stored to a USB memory.
A disc can hold up to 510 files/folders (including Root Folders),
and the maximum number of folders is 255. This unit can
recognize at least 100 folders (including root folder) and
100 files per folder stored in USB memory.
Playback may not be performed
if
a disc or USB memory
exceeds the limitations described above.
Do not make a file's playback time more than 1 hour.
