About MP3/WMA/AAC CAUTION Except for private use, duplicating audio data (including MP3/ WMA/AAC 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-1, 2, 2.5 Audio Layer 3", is a compression standard prescribed by the ISO, the International Standardization Organization 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 realizes such high compression ratios by eliminating the sounds that are either inaudible to the human ear or masked by other sounds. What is AAC? AAC is the abbreviation for "Advanced Audio Coding", and is a basic format of audio compression used by MPEG2 or MPEG4. What is WMA? WMA, or "Windows Media™ Audio," is compressed audio data. WMA is similar to MP3 audio data and can achieve CD quality sound with small file sizes. Method for creating MP3/WMA/AAC files Audio data is compressed using software with MP3/WMA/AAC codes. For details on creating MP3/WMA/AAC files, refer to the user's manual for that software. MP3/WMA/AAC files that are playable on this device have the file extensions. MP3: "mp3" WMA: "wma" (Ver. 7.1, 8 , 9, 9.1 and 9.2 are supported) AAC: "m4a" WMA is not supported for the following files, Windows Media Audio Professional, Windows Media Audio 9 Voice or Windows Media Audio 9 Pro Lossless. There are many different versions of the AAC format. Confirm that the software being used conforms to the acceptable formats listed above. It's possible that the format may be unplayable even though the extension is valid. Playback of AAC files encoded by iTunes is supported.
