What is MP3?

MP3 is an audio compression method and classiﬁed into audio layer 3 of MPEG standards. This audio compression method has penetrated into PC users and become a standard format. This MP3 features the original audio data compression to about 12 percent of its initial size with a high quality sound. This means that several music CDs can be recorded on a SD card to allow a long listening time∗.

1. When writing MP3 ﬁle on a SD/MMC card,

please select “FAT12” or “FAT16” as the system ﬁle format. Please be aware that the Windows XP will format any volume of 512MB or larger with FAT32 by default. Thus, if the disk is using “FAT32” system ﬁle format, please format the disk with “FAT” system ﬁle format which is “FAT16”. All the data will be erased during formatting. Thus, please backup your data accordingly.
