5. Audio

The application 

“Audio”

 enables you to listen to music or text files. Make sure it is the 

active application by using the “Selector” button until you hear the word “Audio”. 
Audio plays the following formats:

Format

AAC

Compressed digital audio file (former standard of Apple‘s iTunes).

WMA

Windows Media Audio: Compressed digital audio file used by
Windows Media Player.

WAV

Uncompressed and therefore relatively large digital audio file, which 
requires up to 10 times more space than a corresponding MP3 file.

Standard video and audio container: Played by Milestone 212 Ace if using 
AAC audio stream. Please note that such a file needs initialization time.

1252, 1253, 1254 or 1256). Unicode files are not supported.

5.1. Navigation in Audio

5.1.1. Navigation when not using a folder structure

In case you‘ve saved all your data in the root of the SD memory card, rather than using a 
folder structure, the navigation is kept very simple. Just press „Right arrow“ to advance to 
the next file and press „Left arrow“ to go back to the previous file. The files are always 
sorted in alphabetical order.

5.1.2. Navigation when using a folder structure

If you prefer to organize and store your data in folders, you will also use the „Rec“ and 
„Mode“ buttons for conveniently navigating through your available files.
Basically, the 4 buttons around the middle „Play“ button represent a directional pad.
By using the arrow buttons, you can jump from one folder or file to selecting another. Press 
the „Mode“ button to actually enter folders and use „Rec“ to leave the folder again, taking 
you back one level within the folder tree.

Example:

 Let us assume you want to listen to your favorite Elvis Presley song. 

You have a folder called “Music” and a folder named “Text” on your SD memory card. In 
the folder “Music” you have created two subfolders named “Oldies” and “Country”. You‘ve 
saved your favorite Elvis song and other tunes in the subfolder “Oldies”.
