Additional Information

Linear PCM (LPCM)/Pulse code modulation

This stands for linear pulse code modulation, which is the signal recording system used for music CDs and DVDs.

m3u

Playlists created using the “WINAMP” soft- ware have a playlist file extension (.m3u).

MP3

MP3 is short for MPEG Audio Layer 3. It is an audio compression standard set by a working group (MPEG) of the ISO (International Stan- dards Organization). MP3 is able to compress audio data to about 1/10th the level of a con- ventional disc.

MS ADPCM

This stands for Microsoft adaptive differential pulse code modulation, which is the signal re- cording system used for the multimedia soft- ware of Microsoft Corporation.

Multi-session

Multi-session is a recording method that al- lows additional data to be recorded later. When recording data on a CD-ROM, CD-R or CD-RW, etc., all data from beginning to end is treated as a single unit or session. Multi-ses- sion is a method of recording more than 2 ses- sions on one disc.

Number of quantization bits

The number of quantization bits is one factor in the overall sound quality; the higher the “bit-depth”, the better the sound quality. How- ever, increasing the bit-depth also increases the amount of data and therefore storage space required.

OPP

OPP is short for Object Push Profile. This pro- file is used for transferring the phonebook

data, schedule data and so on between de-

vices featuring Bluetooth wireless technology.

 

Packet write

 

This is a general term for a method of writing

 

on CD-R, etc., at the time required for a file,

 

just as is done with files on floppy or hard

 

discs.

 

SDP

 

SDP is short for Service Discovery Protocol.

 

This protocol is to search for available services

 

and service characteristics on other devices

 

featuring Bluetooth wireless technology.

 

VBR

 

VBR is short for variable bit rate. Generally

 

speaking CBR (constant bit rate) is more

 

widely used. But by flexibly adjusting the bit

 

rate according to the needs of audio compres-

 

sion, it is possible to achieve compression-

 

priority sound quality.

 

WAV

 

WAV is short for waveform. It is a standard

 

audio file format for Windows®.

 

WMA

 

WMA is short for Windows Media™ Audio

 

and refers to an audio compression technol-

 

ogy that is developed by Microsoft Corpora-

 

tion. WMA data can be encoded by using

 

Windows Media Player version 7 or later.
