MP3 files
MP3 files support constant bit rate (CBR) and variable bit rate (VBR)
files. Files in both bit rates can be played with this unit, but the
searching speed is slower for VBR files than for CBR files. To prioritize
operability, we recommend recording files in CBR.
AAC files
AAC is the abbreviation for “Advanced Audio Coding”, a basic format
of audio compression technology used for MPEG-2 and MPEG-4.
The file format and extension of AAC data depend on the application
used to create the data.
AAC files with the “.m4a” (encoded with iTunes®), “.aac” or “.mp4”
extension can be played with this unit. Copyright-protected files such
as those purchased from the iTunes Store can’t be played. Some
files can’t be played with this unit depending on the version of iTunes
used to encode the files.
ID3 tags
The tag information types which can be registered from a music file are
ID3 tags (v1, v1.1, v2.2.0, v2.3.0 and v2.4.0) or meta tags.
Music file artwork
JPEG files with the extension of “.jpg” or “.jpeg” can be added to music
files as artwork.
Images larger than 800 x 800 pixels can’t be displayed.
