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 about 10
music CDs can be recorded on a CD-R disc or
CD-RW disc to allow a long listening time with-
out having to change CDs.
What is WMA?
WMA is the abbreviation of Windows Media Au-
dio, an audio file format developed by Microsoft
Corporation.

• If you play a file with DRM (Digital Rights Man-
agement) for WMA remaining ON, no audio is
output. (The DRM indicator blinks.)
