Notes on MP3/WMA
What is MP3/WMA?
MP3* (MPEG Audio Layer-3) and WMA (Windows Media
TM
Audio) are the compression formats of digital audio. The
former is developed by MPEG (Motion Picture Experts Group),
and the latter is developed by Microsoft Corporation. Using
these compression formats, you can record the contents of
about 10 music CDs on a single CD (This figure refers to data
recorded on a 650 MB CD-R or CD-RW at a fixed bit rate of
128 kbps and a sampling frequency of 44.1 kHz).
*MPEG Layer-3 audio coding technology licensed from
Fraunhofer IIS and Thomson.
Note:
¡
MP3/WMA encoding and CD writing software programs are
not supplied with this unit.
