LITHIUM-POLYMER BATTERY (LI-POLY) —A battery composed of lithium, a
light
metal with high electrochemical potential. Lithium batteries are light and store
high
amounts of electrical energy. Because of this, lithium-polymer batteries are ideal
for your
portable device. Lithium polymer batteries do not use poisonous metals, such as
lead,
mercury, or cadmium, and have no "memory effect" problems (caused by not
being fully
discharged before a new recharge, and remembering a shorter battery cycle).
However,
they are more expensive than conventional nickel-cadmium (NiCad) and nickel
metal hydride (NiMH) batteries. Your Player uses a Li-Poly battery.
MEGABYTE (MB) — 1 million bytes. Bytes, megabytes, and gigabytes are
measures of how much data a storage device can hold. For example, a 3-minute
MP3
encoded at standard bitrates is approximately 3 MB in size.
MP3 —A member of the MPEG compression family, MP3 is a commonly used
compressed digital-audio format. MP3 encoding transforms digital audio files
(like WAV)
to provide reasonable audio quality in relatively small file sizes.
