About MP3/WMA
MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer-3) and WMA (Windows Media Audio) 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 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.
