Answer
You can play MP3 and WMA music files, and AUD (spoken word) files
used for recorded books. Songs in other types of music source files can be
played if first converted to these formats. Converters are widely available
online.
Yes. You can mix MP3 and WMA audio content.
WMA files are generally half as large as comparable sounding MP3 files.
Because WMA uses smaller file sizes, you can store more music in less
space on CDs, hard drives, or the m250/m500. The WMA format is
exclusive to Windows-based computers.
Yes. Because there are many standards for VBR files, it cannot be
guaranteed that every encoding software package will properly function
with the m250/m500. VBR files that do not comply to standards may lack
track time, fast forward, and/or rewind capabilities.
