INTRODUCTION

WHAT IS MP3/WMA FORMAT?

MP3 / WMA format files are compressed digital audio files, which consumers can
listen to with near CD quality. Commercial CD audio files can be compressed to
MP3 / WMA format files, which are suitable for internet transmission due to their
compact size and can be stored in a portable audio device. The users, for example,
can record their own favorite music album, storing it in HDD in a digital audio player.

MP3 (MPEG2, Layer 3) is a digital file format for audio music. You can download
MP3 songs from many websites on the Internet (please observe the copyright
regulations of your country). MP3 songs are much smaller in memory size compared
to normal CD-Audio format songs. This is called "compressions" and it allows much
more recording time on a storage device (CD, HDD, etc), than the norm. The exact
length of recording time depends on the compression rate of the MP3 song you have
downloaded. Compression rate is specified in "kbps" (kilobits per second). For example:
"128 kbps" - the higher this number, the bigger the MP3 file size, (the better the
sound quality, and the lower the recording time. MP3 songs can be recorded with
some "text information" as part of the same file. It consists of file name (song name),
artist name, and other details such as song duration. Your Juke Jam can locate (find)
a song using this information. There are basically two ways to make an MP3 file:
download MP3 songs from the Internet and save them on the Juke Jam HDD, or
convert CD-audio files (from a normal music file) onto your computer into MP3 format
using a "ripper" software.

WMA stands for "Windows Media Audio", a compression format like MP3 but more
efficient (even smaller file sizes are possible) and with better sound quality. It was
developed by Microsoft Corporationa and you can use the "Windows Media Player"
application (Windows 98SE, ME, 2000 or XP) to create WMA files from your CDs or
other MP3 files.

Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna
Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver
Connect the equipment into an outlet different from that to which the receiver
is connected
