AUDIO SYSTEM
This  is  a  method  of  embedding  track-
related  information  in  an  MP3  file.  This
embedded  information  can  include  the
track  title,  the  artist’s  name,  the  album
title,  the  music  genre,  the  year  of  produc-
tion,  comments  and  other  data.  The  con-
tents  can  be  freely  edited  using  software
with  ID3  tag  editing  functions.  Although
the  tags  are  restricted  to  a  number  of
characters, the information can be viewed
when the track is played back.
 WMA  files  can  contain  a  WMA  tag  that  is
used in the same way as an ID3 tag. WMA
tags  carry  information  such  as  track  title
and artist name.
 Playlists  created  using  “WINAMP”  soft-
ware have a playlist file extension (.m3u).
 MP3  is  an  audio  compression  standard
determined by a working group (MPEG) of
the  ISO  (International  Standard  Organiza-
tion).  MP3  compresses  audio  data  to
about 1/10 the size of that on conventional
discs.
 WMA (Windows Media Audio) is an audio
compression  format  developed  by
Microsoft
®.  It  compresses  files  into  a  size
smaller than that of MP3 files. The decod-
ing formats for WMA files are Ver. 7, 8 and
9 (9.1/9.2).
