What is MP3?
MP3, whose official name is “MPEG 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.

Method for creating MP3/WMA files
Audio data is compressed using software with MP3/WMA codecs. For
details on creating MP3/WMA files, refer to the user’s manual for that
software.
MP3/WMA files that are playable on this device have the file extensions
“mp3” / “wma”. Files with no extension cannot be played back (WMA
ver. 7.1, 8 and 9 are supported). Protected files are not supported.
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.
