About MP3/WMA
CAUTION
Except for private use, duplicating audio data (including MP3/
WMA data) or distributing, transferring, or copying it, whether
for free or for a fee, without permission of the copyright holder is
strictly prohibited by the Copyright Act and by international treaty.
What is MP3?
MP3, whose offi cial name is “MPEG-1 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 fi les contain compressed audio data. MP3 encoding is
capable of compressing audio data at extremely high ratios,
reducing the size of music fi les to as much as one-tenth
their original size. This is achieved while still maintaining near
CD 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 is WMA?
WMA, or “Windows Media™ Audio,” is compressed audio
data.
WMA allows you to create music fi les and store them at
higher ratios of compression than MP3 audio data (approx.
half original size). This is achieved while still maintaining CD
quality sound.
Method for creating MP3/WMA fi les
Audio data is compressed by using MP3/WMA specifi ed
software. For details on creating MP3/WMA fi les, refer to the
user's manual for that software.
MP3/WMA fi les that can be played back by this device have
the fi le extension “mp3” / “wma”. Files with no extension
cannot be played back.
