About a thousand million bytes. A 1 GB device can store 1000 MB worth of MP3
files. If your MP3 files are encoded at 128 kbps and each file is about 4 minutes
long, a 10 GB device can store about 2500 MP3 files.
See "CDDB".
The hard disk on your player is where all of your audio is stored. The hard disk is
also known as a Hard Disk Drive.
ID3 tags are digitally embedded in MP3 files, providing you with information such
as the title, album, artist and genre of a song. This information is displayed when
the MP3 audio track is played back. ID3 tags can be edited.
A technology standard for transmitting data without cables, using infrared light
waves. Many devices like wireless remote controls use IR.
Kilobits-per-second. A measure of how good the bitrate is. 128 kbps is the
standard bitrate for MP3 files. 128 kbps MP3s are near-CD quality. However, you
can encode MP3s at 160 or 192 Kbps.
This stands for kiloHertz, literally a thousand cycles per second, a measure of
audio frequency.
A WAV or MP3 file made by recording audio through the Line-In connector of your
player. In general, recordings made via the Line-In connector are of better quality
than recordings made using the Wired Remote or FM Wired Remote. You would
normally use the Line-In connector to record music from CD players or other audio
playing devices. If you select a high sampling rate for a WAV recording, the audio
quality can easily match that of a MiniDisc recording or a DAT.
