than the volume it indicates?
Cause and solution:
- The volume that the player indicates is the memory
volume of the flash within the player. And a player must
conserve firmware for work, which occupies some
memory of the flash.
- The firmware is system files of the player which cannot be
seen and revised by the user.
- The internal memory displayed by the player does not
include the volume of the firmware. Therefore, it will be
less than the volume it indicates.
