Important Information
The Lyra works with your computer to let you play your favorite music from files recorded on removable CompactFlash* cards. The player plays files encoded with the popular MP3 and RealNetworks** G2 audio formats and may allow for future upgrades of some alternative audio compression formats.
Because the player has no moving parts, the audio can be played back virtually anywhere without skipping.
You can download MP3 and G2 encoded music files from several internet sites to your computer hard drive or record your favorite CD using the software supplied.
