About MP3

• 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 the audio data at extremely high
ratios shrinking music files by 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 files
The software used to create MP3 files is widely sold or free
from various sources. For details on creating MP3 files,
refer to the user's manual for that software.
The MP3 files that can be played back by this device have
the file extension “mp3”. Files with no extension can not be
played back.

files/folders (including Root Folders).
