ID3/WMA tag

MP3/WMA files have an "ID3 / WMA Tag" that allows input of information so that data such as song
title and artist can be saved.
This main unit supports the ID3v.1.0, ID3v.1.1, ID3v.2.2, ID3v.2.3, ID3v.2.4 and WMA tags.

Media

Media capable of playing MP3/WMA includes CD-R and CD-RW discs. Compared to CD-ROM
media commonly used for music discs, CD-R and CD-RW discs are fragile in high temperature/high
humidity environments and one section of the CD-R and CD-RW may become incapable of
playback. Fingerprints or scratches on the disc may prevent playback or cause skipping during
playback. Sections of a CD-R and CD-RW may deteriorate if left inside a vehicle for long periods of
time. It is also recommended that CD-R and CD-RW discs be kept in a light-blocking case because
the discs are vulnerable to ultra-violet light.
