What is MP3/WMA?

MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer-3) and WMA (Windows MediaTMAudio)

are the compression formats of digital audio. The former is

developed by MPEG (Motion Picture Experts Group), and the latter is developed by Microsoft Corporation. Using these compression formats, you can record the contents of about 10 music CDs on a single CD (This figure refers to data recorded on a 650 MB CD-R or CD-RW at a fixed bit rate of 128 kbps and a sampling frequency of 44.1 kHz).

Notes on CD-Rs/RWs
¡ You may have trouble playing back some CD-R/RW discs recorded using CD recorders (CD-R/RW drives), either due to
their recording characteristics or dirt, fingerprints, scratches, etc. on the disc surface.
¡ CD-R/RW discs are less resistant to high temperatures and high humidity than ordinary music CDs. Leaving them inside
a car for extended periods may damage and make playback impossible.
¡ Some CD-R/RW discs cannot be played back successfully due to incompatibility among writing software, a CD recorder
(CD-R/RW drive) and the discs.
¡ This player cannot play the CD-R/RW discs if the session is not closed. ¡ This player cannot play the CD-R/RW discs which contain other than CD-DA or MP3/WMA data. ¡ Be sure to observe the instructions of the CD-R/RW disc for handling it.
