About MP3/ WMA
The music compression technology MP3
(MPEG1 Audio Layer 3) and WMA (Windows
Media Audio) significantly reduces the digital data
of an audio CD while maintaining CD quality
sound.
Windows Media Audio® is a registered
trademark of Microsoft Corporation.

The system will not play or support the
following:
• Empty albums: an empty album is an album
that does not contain MP3/WMA files, and will
not be shown in the display.
• Non-supported file formats are skipped. This
means that e.g.: Word documents .doc or MP3
files with extension .dlf are ignored and will not
be played.

IMPORTANT!
– Make sure that the file names of MP3
files end with .mp3.
