Compressed audio files
(MP3/WMA/AAC)
Explanation of terms:
•MP3 — MP3 is short for Moving Pictures
Experts Group Audio Layer 3. MP3 is the
most well known compressed digital audio
file format. This format allows for near
“CD quality” sound, but at a fraction of the
size of normal audio files. MP3 conversion
of an audio track can reduce the file size by
approximately a 10:1 ratio (sampling: 44.1
kHz, bit rate: 128 kbps) with virtually no
perceptible loss in quality. The compres-
sion reduces certain parts of sound that
seem inaudible to most people.
•WMA — Windows Media Audio (WMA) is
a compressed audio format created by Mi-
crosoft as an alternative to MP3. The
WMA codec offers greater file compres-
sion than the MP3 codec, enabling stor-
age of more digital audio tracks in the
same amount of space when compared to
MP3s at the same level of quality.
•Bit rate — Bit rate denotes the number of
bits per second used by a digital music file.
The size and quality of a compressed digi-
tal audio file is determined by the bit rate
used when encoding the file.
•Sampling frequency — Sampling frequency
is the rate at which the samples of a signal
are converted from analog to digital (A/D
conversion) per second.
•Multisession — Multisession is one of the
methods for writing data to media. Writing
data once to the media is called a single
session, and writing more than once is
called a multisession.
•ID3/WMA Tag — The ID3/WMA tag is
the part of the encoded MP3 or WMA file
that contains information about the digital
music file such as song title, artist, album
title, encoding bit rate, and track time du-
ration, etc. ID3 tag information is dis-
played on the Album/Artist/Track title line
on the display.
