What is MP3?
MP3, whose official name is "MPEG-t Audio Layer 3," is a
compression standard prescribed by the ISO, the International
Standardization Organization and MPEG which is a joint activity
institution of the lEC.
MP3 files contain compressed audio data. MP3 encoding is
capable ot compressing audio data at extremely high ratios,
reducing the size of music files to as much as one-tenth their
original size. This is achieved while still maintaining near CD quality.
The MP3 format realises such high compression ratios by
eliminating the sounds that are either inaudible to the human ear or
masked by other sounds.
What is WMA?
WMA. or "Windows Media'“ Audio," is compressed audio data.
WMA is similar to MP3 audio data and can achieve CD quality
sound with small file sizes.
What Is AAC?
AAC is the abbreviation for “Advanced Audio Coding," and is a
basic format of audio compression used by MPEG2 or MPEG4.
Method for creating MP3/WMA/AAC files
Audio data is compressed using software with MP3/WMA/AAC
codecs. For details on creating MP3ArVMA/AAC files, refer to the
user's manual for that software.
MP3/WMA/AAC files that are playable on this device have the file
extensions “mp3” / “wma" / "m4a." Files with no extension cannot
be played back (WMA ver. 7-9 are supported). Protected files are
not supported, neither are rav/ AAC files (using the “.aac"
extension).
There are many different versions of the AAC format. Confirm that
the software being used conforms to the acceptable formats listed
above. It's possible that the format may be unplayable even though
the extension is valid.
Rayback of AAC files encoded by iTunes is supported.
