What is MP3?
MP3 is an audio compression method and clas-
sified into audio layer 3 of MPEG standards.
This audio compression method has penetrated
into PC users and become a standard format.
This MP3 features the original audio data com-
pression to about 10 percent of its initial size
with a high sound quality. This means that about
10 music CDs can be recorded on a CD-R disc
or CD-RW disc to allow a long listening time
without having to change CDs.
What is WMA?
WMA is the abbreviation of Windows Media Au-
dio, an audio file format developed by Microsoft
Corporation.

agement) for WMA remaining ON, no audio is

ters. If you add a file extension other than
specified or forget to add the file extension ,
the file cannot be played.
2. Files without MP3/WMA data will not play.
The indication “––:––” appears in the play
time display if you attempt to play files with-
out MP3/WMA data.

software format. Normal play may not be pos-
sible if the disc is recorded on another format.

betical letters and numerals (including an ex-
