MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer-3) and WMA (Windows Media™ Audio) is a format for compressed audio files.
Caution!
Except for private use, duplicating audio data (including MP3/WMA) or distributing,
transferring or copying it, whether for free for if it is paid for without permission of the original
copyright holder is strictly prohibited by the Copyright Act and international treaty.
Common facts about these compressed-sound formats:
High bit rate and high sampling frequencies are recommended for high sound quality.
Selecting VBR (Variable Bit Rate) is not recommended because playing time is not displayed properly
and there may be some audible skipping artifacts. The playback sound quality differs depending on
the encoding circumstances. For details, refer to the user manual of your own encoding software.
MP3 Notes:
It is recommended to set the bit rate to “128 kbps or more” and “fixed”.
WMA Notes:
It is recommended to set the bit rate to “64 kbps or more” and “fixed”. Do not set the copy protect
attribute on the WMA file or you will not be able to play the track.
Placement of music on your flash drive:
The Model One will read only FAT or FAT32 formatted flash drives or SD cards up to 32 gigs in
size. The radio will NOT read NTFS formatted drives or cards. The Model One will read files
