About MP3/WMA Files
MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer-3) and WMA (Windows Media Audio) is a format for
compressed audio files. When your radio is in USB mode (USB 1 or USB 2), you can play
MP3 and unprotected (no DRM) WMA files off the flash drive.
Common facts about these compressed-sound formats:
• High bit rate and high sampling frequencies are
recommended for high sound quality.
• Selecting VBR (Variable Bit Rate) is not recommended because playing time is
not displayed properly and there may be some audible skipping artifacts. The
playback sound quality differs depending on the encoding circumstances.
For details, refer to the user manual of your own encoding software.
• When adding MP3 files to your flash drive, it is recommended
to set the bit rate to 128 kbps or more and "fixed."
• When adding WMA files to your flash drive, it is recommended to set
the bit rate to 64 kbps or more and "fixed." Do not set the copy protect
attribute on the WMA file or you will not be able to play the track.
