■ID3 tag
 This is a method of embed- ding track-related information
in an MP3 file. This embed-
ded information can include
the track number, track title,
the artist’s name, the album
title, the music genre, the year
of production, comments,
cover art and other data. The
contents can be freely edited
using software with ID3 tag
editing functions. Although
the tags are restricted to a
number of characters, the
information can be viewed
when the track is played back.
■WMA tag
 WMA files can contain a
WMA tag that is used in the
same way as an ID3 tag.
WMA tags carry information
such as track title and artist
name.
■MP3
 MP3 is an audio compression
standard determined by a
working group (MPEG) of the
ISO (International Standard
Organization). MP3 com-
presses audio data to about
1/10 the size of that on con-
ventional discs.
■WMA
 WMA (Windows Media Audio)
is an audio compression for-
mat developed by Microsoft
®.
It compresses files into a size
smaller than that of MP3 files.

Natural language
understanding*
Due to natural language
speech recognition technol-
ogy, this system recognizes
commands when spoken
naturally. (If a Toyota con-
nected services subscrip-
tion has been entered, the
system will be able to con-
nect to the Cloud and the
range of naturally spoken
English which can be recog-
nized will be increased.)
However, the system cannot
recognize every variation of
each command. In some sit-
uations, it is possible to
omit the command for the
procedure and directly state
the desired operation. Not
all voice commands are dis-
played in the function menu.
To use this function, a sub-
scription to the Toyota con-
nected services is
necessary. Contact your
Toyota dealer for details.
