For details on charging time and usage time, see page 24. 139139 Useful Facts What are Format and Bit Rate?
C o n t e n t s T a ble o f I n d e x What is audio format?
Audio format refers to the method used when importing audio data from the Internet or audio CDs to a computer and saving it as an audio file. Common formats include MP3 and WMA, etc. MP3: MP3 (MPEG-1 Audio Layer3) is a common audio compression technology developed by the MPEG working group of the ISO (International Organization for Standardization). MP3 can compress audio files to about 1/10 the size of standard CD audio files. WMA: WMA (Windows Media Audio) is a common audio compression technology developed by Microsoft Corporation. The WMA format produces the same sound quality as that of the MP3 format with a smaller file size. AAC: AAC (Advanced Audio Coding) is a common audio compression technology developed by the MPEG working group of the ISO (International Organization for Standardization). The AAC format produces the same sound quality as that of the MP3 format, with a smaller file size. Linear PCM: Linear PCM is an audio recording format without digital compression. You can listen to the sound with the same quality as CD music by recording with this format. What is copyright protection?
Some music files, video files, etc., that you purchase at a music download service site or similar services may apply access control technologies such as encryption, to accomplish the copyright holders intention to limit usage and duplication of music or videos. What is bit rate?
Bit rate refers to the amount of data used to store each second of audio, expressed in kbps (kilo bits per second), such as 64 kbps. Generally, higher bit rates provide better sound quality, but require more storage space for the same length of audio. Continued C o n t e n t s T a ble o f I n d e x 140140 Useful Facts What is the relationship between bit rate, sound quality, and storage size?
Generally, higher bit rates provide better sound quality, but require more storage space for the same length of audio, so you can store fewer songs on the player. Lower bit rates enable you to store more songs, but at a lower sound quality. Note If you import a song from a CD to your computer at a low bit rate, you cannot improve the songs sound quality by selecting a high bit rate when transferring the song from the computer to the player. What is video format?
Video format refers to the method used when importing video and audio data to a computer and saving it as a video file. Common formats include MPEG-4 and AVC, etc. MPEG-4: MPEG-4 refers to Moving Picture Experts Group phase 4, developed by the MPEG working group of the ISO (International Organization for Standardization). The compression format is for video and audio data. AVC: AVC refers to Advanced Video Coding, developed by the MPEG working group of the ISO (International Organization for Standardization). It enables reproduction of more vivid images at a lower bit rate. AVC files include four profiles, and AVC Baseline Profile is one of them. AVC format is based on the MPEG-4 AVC standard of the ISO (International Organization for Standardization), and since AVC is standardized as the MPEG-4 Part 10 Advanced Video Coding, it is commonly referred to as MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 or H.264/AVC. WMV: WMV (Windows Media Video) is a video compression format developed by Microsoft Corporation. It was built upon MPEG-4, achieves a high compression rate, and supports copy control by DRM. What is photo format?
Photo format refers to the method used when importing images to a computer and saving them as image files. Common formats include JPEG, etc. JPEG: JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) is a common image compression format developed by the JPEG. JPEG can compress an image file to about 1/10 to 1/100 the size of original image files. Hint For details on supported file formats and bit rates, see page 173. 141141 Useful Facts Storing Data You can store computer data into the built-in flash memory of the player by transferring the data from your computer using Windows Explorer, or another transfer capable software.
