About MP3/WMA/AAC

CAUTION
Except for private use, duplicating audio data (including MP3/
WMA/AAC data) or distributing, transferring, or copying it,
whether for free or for a fee, without permission of the copyright
holder is strictly prohibited by the Copyright Act and by
international treaty.
What is MP3?
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 realises such
high compression ratios by eliminating the sounds that are either
inaudible to the human ear or masked by other sounds.
What is WMA?
™
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.
What is AAC?
AAC is the abbreviation for "Advanced Audio Coding, " and is a basic
format of audio compression used by MPEG2 or MPEG4.
Method for creating MP3/WMA/AAC files
Audio data is compressed using software with MP3/WMA/AAC codecs.
For details on creating MP3/WMA/AAC files, refer to the user's manual
for that software.
MP3/WMA/AAC files that are playable on this device have the file
extensions "mp3" / "wma" / "m4a". Files with no extension cannot be
played back (WMA ver. 7.1, 8 and 9 are supported). Protected files are
not supported, neither are raw AAC files (using the ".aac" extension).
There are many different versions of the AAC format. Confirm that the
software being used conforms to the acceptable formats listed above.
It's possible that the format may be unplayable even though the
extension is valid.
Playback of AAC files encoded by iTunes is supported.
