About MP3

CAUTION

Except for private use, duplicating audio data (including MP3 data) or distributing, transferring, or copying it, whether for free or for a fee, without permission of the copyright holder is strictly prohibited by the Copyright Act and by international treaty.

What is MP3?

MP3, whose official name is “MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3,” is a compression standard prescribed by the ISO, the International Standardization Organization and MPEG which is a joint activity institution of the IEC.

MP3 files contain compressed audio data. MP3 encoding is capable of compressing audio data at extremely high ratios, reducing the size of music files to as much as one-tenth their original size. This is achieved while still maintaining near CD quality. The MP3 format realises such high compression ratios by eliminating the sounds that are either inaudible to the human ear or masked by other sounds.

Method for creating MP3 files

Audio data is compressed using software with MP3 codecs. For details on creating MP3 files, refer to the user’s manual for that software.

MP3 files that are playable on this device have the file extensions “mp3”. Files with no extension cannot be played back.
