The name of the artist, the album and the title of the played file can be displayed
if the information is available as a so-called ID3 tag. If no ID3 tag is available, only the folder name is displayed.
To ensure good quality sound, we recommend a minimum compressed bitrate of
160 kb/s for MP3 files. For audio files with variable bitrates, the indicated remain-
ing playback time does not correspond to the actual remaining playback time.
WMA files can only be played when not copyrighted by DRM. These kinds of WMAfiles are not supported by the device.
The more files, folders or playlists on one source, the longer it will take to read
the source. It is a good idea to create subfolders with files (e.g. by artist or album
names) in order to save time.
