Supported media players, formats and metadata information

iPod , Zune™, “Plays from device” players, and most USB drives.
Supported audio formats include MP3, WMA, WAV and AAC.

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:

If your indexed media files contain no information embedded in these
metadata tags, SYNC will automatically classify the empty metadata tags
as UNKNOWN.
