I can't hear the ASF file. There are two kinds of ASF files, Audio and Video. The iMP-150 supports Audio ASF file only. Is the sound better if I convert an MP3 file into WAV? There are two groups of audio data, compressed and uncompressed. MP3 is a diminished compression format in the compressed group, meaning it is not possible to create the original audio file 100%, partly due to the fact that there are frequencies missing.
