MP3, whose official 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 files contain compressed audio data. MP3 encoding is
capable of compressing audio data at extremely high ratios,
reducing the size of music files 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.
WMA, or "Windows media™ Audio," is compressed audio data.
WMA is similar to MP3 audio data and can achieve CD quality
sound with small file sizes.
Audio data is compressed by using MP3/WMA specified
software. For details on creating MP3/WMA files, refer to the
user's manual for that software.
MP3/WMA files that can be played back by this device have the
file extension "mp3" / "wma." Files with no extension cannot be
played back. (WMA ver. 7.1, 8 and 9 are supported)
