memory.
To specify the order in
which files in the USB
portable audio player/USB
memory are played, we
recommend the following
method.
1 Using a personal computer,
add a number indicating

Terms
Packet writeThis is a general term for a method of writing on CD -R, etc. at the time required for a file, just as is done with files on floppy or hard discs.
Bit rateThis expresses data volume per second, or bps (bits per second) units. The higher the rate, the more information is available to reproduce the sound. Using the same encoding method (such as MP3), the higher the rate, the better the sound.
Multi-sessionMulti-session is a recording method that allows additional data to be recorded later. When recording data on a CD -ROM, CD -R or CD -RW, etc., all data from beginning to end is treated as a single unit or session. Multi-session is a method of recording more than 2 sessions in
one disc.
CD-DACD - DA is an abbreviation of Compact Disc Digital Audio. It refers to the uncompressed format of regular CDs.
ID3 TagThis is a method of embedding track-related information in a MP3 file. This embedded information can include the track title, the artist's name, the album title, the music genre, the year of production, comments and other data. The contents can be freely edited using software with ID3 Tag editing functions. Although the tags are restricted to the number of characters, the information can be viewed when the track is played back.
ISO9660 formatThis is the international standard for the format logic of CD -ROM folders and files. For the ISO9660 format, there are regulations for the following two levels.Level 1:The file name is in 8.3 format (the name consists of up to 8 characters, half-byte English capital letters and half-byte numerals and the "_" sign, with a file- extension of three characters).Level 2:The file name can have up to 31 characters (including the separation mark "." and a file extension). Each folder contains less than 8 hierarchies.Extended formats
Joliet:File names can have up to 64 characters.Romeo:
File names can have up to 128 characters.
m3uPlaylists created using the " WINAMP " software have a playlist file extension (.m3u).
MP3MP3 is short for MPEG1 & 2 Audio Layer3. It is an audio compression standard set by a working group (MPEG) of the ISO (International Standards Organization). MP3 is able to compress audio data to about 1/10 the level of a conventional disc.
WMAWMA is short for Windows MediaTM
Audio and refers to an audio compression technology that is developed by Microsoft Corporation. WMA data can be encoded by using Windows Media Player version 7 or later.
AACA AC is short for Advanced Audio Coding and refers to an audio compression technology standard used with MPEG2 and MPEG4.
