DIFFERENT FILE FORMATS
WHAT IS MP3?
MP3 is short for MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3-compressiontechnology. The term
MP3 files usually refers to files containing music of some kind. MP3 files are
IN TR OD UCT I ON
compressed to approximately 1/12 of a normal music file that you find on a
Compact Disc. MP3 is used under license from Thompson.
WHAT IS MP4?
MP4 or MPEG-4 is not only a file format for video and sound but also the name
of a Codec (COmpression and DECompression) in other words a compressed
file format. This means that you can have a QuickTime video (.mov) with video
and sound compressed with an MPEG-4 codec.
JOS MP-500 only plays video compressed with our transcoding software JOS
Transcoder which is available for download at www.jensofsweden.com.
WHAT IS WMA?
WMA is short for Windows Media Audio and is a popular alternative to
MP3. WMA gives you the opportunity to compress files harder with out
losing quality. WMA files are compressed to approximately 1/24 of a normal
music file that you find on a Compact Disc. WMA is used under license from
Microsoft.
WHAT IS OGG?
OGG-Vorbis is an open source format with better quality than MP3. It also
produces smaller files then MP3 with equal quality.
