Additional Information Appendix English Linear PCM (LPCM)/Pulse code modulation This stands for linear pulse code modulation, which is the signal recording system used for music CDs and DVDs. m3u Playlists created using the "WINAMP" software have a playlist file extension (.m3u). MP3 MP3 is short for MPEG Audio Layer 3. It is an audio compression standard set by a working group (MPEG) of the ISO (International Standards Organization). MP3 is able to compress audio data to about 1/10th the level of a conventional disc. MS ADPCM This stands for Microsoft adaptive differential pulse code modulation, which is the signal recording system used for the multimedia software of Microsoft Corporation. Multi-session Multi-session is a recording method that allows additional data to be recorded later. When recording data on a CD-ROM, CD-R or CD-RW, etc., all data from beginning to end is treated as a single unit or session. Multi-session is a method of recording more than 2 sessions on one disc. Number of quantization bits The number of quantization bits is one factor in the overall sound quality; the higher the "bit-depth", the better the sound quality. However, increasing the bit-depth also increases the amount of data and therefore storage space required. OPP OPP is short for Object Push Profile. This profile is used for transferring the phonebook data, schedule data and so on between devices featuring Bluetooth wireless technology. Packet write This is a general term for a method of writing on CD-R, etc., at the time required for a file, just as is done with files on floppy or hard discs. SDP SDP is short for Service Discovery Protocol. This protocol is to search for available services and service characteristics on other devices featuring Bluetooth wireless technology. VBR VBR is short for variable bit rate. Generally speaking CBR (constant bit rate) is more widely used. But by flexibly adjusting the bit rate according to the needs of audio compression, it is possible to achieve compressionpriority sound quality. WAV WAV is short for waveform. It is a standard audio file format for Windows®. WMA WMA is short for Windows Media™ Audio and refers to an audio compression technology that is developed by Microsoft Corporation. WMA data can be encoded by using Windows Media Player version 7 or later.
