MP3 Explorer is the application which is used to download into a portable MP3 player and play any music file with extensions of MP3 (*.mp3) or CA (*.ca) stored in PC. If you download any music file whose extension is CA, it detects the ID of multimedia card (MMC), changes its extension to GU3, and saves it. It is to protect against unauthorized reproduction, which is required by the organizations related to copyrights of music. You can play the downloaded music file with the extension of GU3 in the MP3 player with the sound quality of CD level. The music files with the extension of GU3 stored in this multimedia card can be played in any MP3 players made by LG Electronics Inc. But, in case you upload the music file with the extension of GU3 onto PC, you cannot play the music file.
If you upload onto PC any GU3 (*.GU3) file which has been downloaded into an MP3 player, and then, download it into another card, it will not be played or playback will be broken up, due to the reproduction prevention lock.
