About MP3 files

• MP3, which stands for MPEG-1 Audio Layer-3, is
a music file compression format standard. It
compresses audio CD data to approximately 1/10
of its original size.
• ID3 tag versions 1.0, 1.1, 2.2, 2.3 and 2.4 apply to
MP3 only. ID3 tag is 15/30 characters (1.0 and
1.1), or 63/126 characters (2.2, 2.3 and 2.4).
• When naming an MP3 file, be sure to add the file
extension ".mp3" to the file name.
• During playback or fast-forward/reverse of a VBR
(variable bit rate) MP3 file, elapsed playback time
may not display accurately.
Note on MP3
If you play a high-bit-rate MP3, such as 384 kbps,
sound may be intermittent.
