About the JPEG file format
JPEG is a type of file format for storing still-image files
(photos, illustrations, etc.). The system lets you play JPEG

cannot be played.
There may be some files that cannot be played even if they
are in JPEG format.
Progressive JPEG files cannot be played.
Moving image files as well as Motion JPEG format files
cannot be played, even though they are JPEG files.
Other files that cannot be played back.
You may not be able to play some still images which you
have created, touched up, copied or otherwise edited on
your computer.
You may not be able to play some still images you have
processed (rotated or saved by overwriting other images
you have imported from the Internet or e-mail).
You may experience one or more of the following
symptoms when playing files.
It may take some time to play files depending on the
number of folders, number of files and volume of data
involved.
EXIF information will not be displayed. EXIF stands for
Exchangeable Image File Format, and is a standard for
storing interchange information in image files, especially
those using JPEG compression. (Refer to http://exif.org for
more information.)

About the MP3 file format
MP3 files are audio data compressed in the MPEG1/2 Audio
layer-3 file format. “MP3 files” have “.mp3” as extensions.
(Some files that have “.mp3” extensions or files that have not
been recorded in MP3 format will produce noise or cannot be
played.)
Playing the MP3 file format
The MP3 files are not played in the order they were
recorded.
It is recommended to record data at a lower speed as data
recorded at a fast speed can produce noise and may not
be able to be played.
The more folders there are, the longer the reading time.
Depending on the folder tree, reading MP3 files can take
time.
The playing time may not be correctly displayed during
MP3 file playback.
