Terminology

Bit rate

This is the “sound” compression rate specified for encoding.
The higher the bit rate, the higher the sound quality, but also
the larger the files.

Sampling rate

This value shows how many times per second the data is
sampled (recorded). For example, music CDs use a sampling
rate of 44.1 kHz, so the sound is sampled (recorded) 44,100
times per second. The higher the sampling rate, the higher
the sound quality, but also the larger the volume of data.

Encoding

Converting music CDs, WAVE (AIFF) files, and other sound
files into the specified audio compression format.

Tag

Song information such as track titles, artist names, album
names, etc., written into MP3/WMA files.
MP3: ID3 tag
WMA: WMA tag

Root folder

The root folder is found at the top of the file system. The root
folder contains all folders and files.

Order of tracks

The unit plays the files in the order that the writing software
writes them. Therefore, the playing order may not be the same
as the order you input. The playback order of the folders and
files is as follows. However, the folder and file playback order
differs from the folder no. and file no. indicated on the display.
