What does MP3 stand for?

MP3 is an abbreviated form of MPEG1 Layer3, which is an industry standard for digital
data compression technology used for coding audio-visual information. An MP3 file is an
audio file made by using the audio data compression technology.

What is the RipFlash Recordable MP3?

The RipFlash Recordable MP3 Player is equipped with an MP3 “encoder” that can
directly record audio contents from the line-in jack. The RipFlash Recordable MP3
Player can be connected to other audio devices such as a portable CD player, enabling
the direct transfer of selected song titles, which are then stored on the player.

Since RipFlash is a Recordable MP3 Player and because it has an internal microphone
and speaker, it also functions as a very high quality voice recorder. Use RipFlash to
record those quick voice reminder memos, or even lengthy business meetings or lectures.

The RipFlash Recordable MP3 Player also works like any traditional MP3 player for
listening to your existing MP3 files or files that you download from the Internet. Just
use the supplied USB cable and software to move MP3 files from your computer to
your RipFlash.
