About MP3/WMA
CAUTION
Except for private use, duplicating audio data (including MP3/
WMA data) or distributing, transferring, or copying it, whether
for free or for a fee, without permission of the copyright holder is
strictly prohibited by the Copyright Act and by international
treaty.
What is MP3?
MP3, whose official name is “MPEG Audio Layer 3,” is a compression
standard prescribed by the ISO, the International Standardisation
Organisation and MPEG which is a joint activity institution of the IEC.
MP3 files contain compressed audio data. MP3 encoding is capable of
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.
Method for creating MP3/WMA files
Audio data is compressed using software with MP3/WMA codecs. For
details on creating MP3/WMA files, refer to the user’s manual for that
software.
MP3/WMA files that are playable on this device have the file extensions.
MP3: “mp3”

The tag information may not be correctly displayed, depending on the
