Playing List
The Playing List is like a long line of audio tracks, waiting for their turn to be played. You can choose an
album or a playlist of tracks to be played. Their turn comes when the tracks listed before them have been
played. In Normal mode, tracks are played in the order that they are queued.
Playlist
A grouping of audio tracks. Using a playlist, you can create a playback sequence of audio files from
multiple albums or categories without actually rearranging any audio files in the player’s Music Library.
You can also name a playlist, for example, My Favorite Pop Songs.
Presets
A collection of EAX Advanced EQ settings that you can select to enhance your audio. Some presets that
you can choose are Acoustic, Classical and Rock.
Ripping
The process of creating digital audio files from an audio CD. Using a CD ripper and an MP3 encoder,
you can extract favorite tracks from an audio CD and make MP3 files. You can then transfer the audio
files over to your player for your enjoyment.
Sampling Rate
The sampling rate is a measure of how well an audio source is captured as a digital audio file. For
example, a normal audio CD has audio sampled at 44.1 kHz.
SB1394
SB1394 is Creative's IEEE-1394 compatible standard for high speed (about 400Mbps at peak) digital
audio transfer. Creative's SB1394 standard offers you maximum speed and compatibility with SB1394
peripherals and also provides you with a seamless user experience for transferring massive MP3
collections, DV editing, easy networking and more.
You can connect your player to your computer using the SB1394 cable. This cable can be connected to
the Audigy audio card’s SB1394 jack or a standard IEEE 1394 interface card. See "1394" on page A-2
for more details about IEEE 1394.
