Regarding MP3 mode

In addition to operating as a multi-track recorder,
the MICRO BR can be switched to "MP3 mode"
and used as an MP3 or WAV file player.
In MP3 mode you can perform the following
operations.
• Save and play back up to 999 songs.
• Use the Repeat function to play songs repeatedly.
• Use the Phrase Trainer function with MP3 format
files to practice songs effectively.
• The Time Stretch function lets you change the
playback speed of the song.
• The Center Cancel function lets you eliminate
sounds that are localized at the center of the
sound field, so you can use the song for
"minus-one" practicing.
• Sounds from the audio input can be recorded in
MP3/WAV formats.
• If you've created an MP3/WAV file on your
computer and would like to use it on the
MICRO BR, you'll need to transfer the MP3/
WAV file from your computer to the MICRO
BR. For details on how to transfer MP3/
WAV files, read "Section 6. Using USB" (p.
100).
• If a memory card included with a
commercially available MP3 player is
inserted in the MICRO BR, it won't work,
since such cards can't be used as is.

the card first. However, all data saved on
that memory card will be lost when you
initialize the card.
