uses no moving parts for playback, and delivers high-quality
sound for your enjoyment. The MP360 uses the MPEG 3
compression method for quality internet audio.

Your MP3 Player is a portable digital audio player that plays
MP3 files without requiring the use of tapes or CDs. MP3
Players use one or two flash memory cards, which are
expandable up to 64MB. MP3 is a well known, high-quality
digital audio format. MP3 files can be compressed up to 12
times the original wave file size. Using a computer, thousands
of MP3 files are available on the internet. You can down files
to your computer without leaving your home, or having to wait
in long lines at record stores. Just download the files legally
from anywhere in the world through your internet connection.
You will have to pay a fee for downloading MP3 files to the
MP3 provider. The files can then be transferred to your player
and listened to on your home stereo, in your car, on the
beach, or any where you wish to go! Also, you can make your
own CD quality MP3 files from CD or WAV , by using the MP3
encoder software.

MP3 Players take advantage of MP3’s small data size and CD
quality sound.
