• WMA — Windows Media Audio (WMA)* is acompressed audio format created by Mi-
crosof t as an alternative to MP3. The WMA
codec offers greater file compression
than the MP3 codec, enabling storage 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
digital audio file is determined by the bit
rate used when encoding the file.
• Sampling frequency — Sampling fre- quency 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. Writ-
ing 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, encod-
ing bit rate, track time duration, etc. ID3
tag information is displayed on the Artist/
song title line on the display. * Windows® and Windows Media® are reg-
istered trademarks and trademarks in the

tries of Microsof t Corporation of the USA.
