About encoded audio

Applications like Windows Media Player and Nokia Audio Manager encode audio files with codecs like WMA or MP3 to save storage space. The encoding is done by removing those parts of the audio signal that are not audible or only barely audible by human ear.

Regardless of the encoder and codec quality, the sound quality of the resulting file is not as good as the original.

The basic codecs supported by this device are AAC, WMA, and MP3. All of these have different variations.

Bitrates

When encoding audio, the quality of the resulting sound depends on the sample rate and bit rate used for the encoding. Sample rate is expressed as thousands of samples per second (kHz), and for CD music the sample rate is fixed at 44.1 kHz. Bit rate is expressed as kilobits per second (Kbps). The higher the bitrate, the better the sound quality.

The required quality level may depend on your demands, the headphones used, and the surrounding noise. For MP3s a bitrate between 128 and 192 Kbps usually gives results good enough for listening to pop music with your device. WMA or AAC generally gives a similar result as MP3 with one step lower bitrate (96-160 Kbps). Variations
