Overview of the Software (continued)
WAV file (8/11/16kHz, 8/16 bit, monaural/44.1kHz, 16 bit,
stereo wav file/file extension: *.wav)
The WAV file is a PCM 8/11/16kHz, 8/16 bit monaural, or 44.1kHz 16 bit
stereo sound file used in recorded sound in standard Windows application
software. You can play back a WAV file on the “Memory Stick Voice
Editor” and on Windows software such as the “Sound Recorder”.
On the “Memory Stick Voice Editor 2”, a 11/16/44.1kHz WAV file can be
converted into an MSV(LPEC, SP) and an 8 kHz WAV file can be
converted into an MSV (LPEC, LP) file. They can be written on the
“Memory Stick” to be played back on this unit.
ICS file (Sony IC recorder Sound file/file extension: *.ics)
The ICS file is Sony's original sound file format used in recording
messages on the IC recorder ICD-R100/R200. The “Memory Stick Voice
Editor 2” does not support an ICS file. To use an ICS file with the
“Memory Stick Voice Editor 2”, use the software compatible with the ICS
file format such as “Sony ICD-PCLINK software” to convert an ICS file
into a WAV file.
MP3 file (MP3 file/file extension: *.mp3 )
The MP3 file, short for MPEG-1 Layer 3 (Moving Pictures Expert Group),
stores digital audio such as sounds or songs and is commonly used to
distribute it over internet. The file is compressed with little loss in sound
quality. You can play back an MP3 using an MP3 player.
On the “Memory Stick Voice Editor 2,” an MP3 file can be viewed in the
PC message list, played back and attached to an e-mail message. To view
an MP3 file, select and check [View MP3 Files] from the [View] menu. You
can also convert an MP3 file into an MSV file and add to the “Memory
Stick.” For details, see the software online help.
