Supported media players, formats and metadata information
SYNC is capable of hosting nearly any digital media player, including
iPod
, Zune™, “Plays from device” players, and most USB drives.
Supported audio formats include MP3, WMA, WAV and AAC.
SYNC is also able to organize and sort your indexed media from your
playing device by metadata tags. Metadata tags are descriptive software
identifiers embedded in your media files which provide information about
the media file. SYNC supports the following metadata tags:
•Artist
•Album
•Genre
•Track
If your indexed media files contain no information embedded in these
metadata tags, SYNC will automatically classify the empty metadata tags
as UNKNOWN.
What’s playing?
At any time while a track is playing, SYNC will read the metadata tags of
the track to you (if populated). Simply press
or VOICE. A tone will
sound and SYNC will say “Main menu”. Say “USER DEVICE” and, when
prompted, ask “What’s playing?”
