what are Format and Bit Rate?
1 1
What is the relationship between bit rate, sound quality, and storage size?
Generally, higher bit rates provide better sound quality, but require more storage
space for the same length of audio, so you can store fewer songs on the player.
Lower bit rates enable you to store more songs, but at a lower sound quality.
For details on supported audio formats and bit rate, see  pages 108 and 109.
Note
 If you import a song from a CD to SonicStage at a low bit rate, you cannot improve
the song’s sound quality by selecting a high bit rate when transferring the song from
SonicStage to the player.
