Setting Up Your Player
Thanks for buying a Compaq iPAQ Personal CD Player
PCD-1, and welcome to the world of digital audio.
What is Digital Audio?
Digital audio is a way of compressing recorded sound so
that it takes up much less storage space. A song is reduced
to about 1/10 its size, allowing you to store much more
music on one CD. There are many types of digital audio
formats, but MP3 and WMA are two of the most popular.
Why Digital Audio?
Digital CD players provide many benefits:
> Up to 20 hours of music on one CD
> High quality sound
> Organization and personalization of your music
> The ability to take your favorite music with you
anywhere!
