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.

If your indexed media files contain no information embedded in these
metadata tags, SYNC may classify the empty metadata tags asUnknown.
