What type of files can I 

play with the Rio Forge?

• The Rio Forge can play MP3, WMA, and Audible #2 and #3 format files.

Can I add MP3 and WMA 

files to the player at the 

same time?

• Yes. You can play MP3 and WMA audio content. They can be mixed together.

What are the differences 

between MP3 and WMA 

files?

• Because WMA’s use a lower bitrate than equivalent MP3’s they are generally half 

as large as MP3 files and you can store more music in less space on CDs, hard 

drives, or the Rio Forge. The WMA format is exclusive to Windows-based 

computers.
