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 tracks on
the player.
Lower bit rates enable you to store more tracks, but at a lower sound quality.
For details on supported audio formats and bit rate, see
 page 104.
Note
• If you import a track from a CD to SonicStage or CONNECT Player software at a low
bit rate, you cannot improve the track’s sound quality by selecting a high bit rate when
transferring the track from SonicStage or CONNECT Player software to the player.
