About Bit Rates
In OpenMG Jukebox, the bit rate for recording an audio CD can be chosen from among
132 kbps/105 kbps/66 kbps. The sound quality and available recording time after the
conversion will be different depending on the selected bit rate. A Higher value makes
the sound quality better, but the size of the recorded data file will be bigger thus
shortening the total Check-Out time available on your CLIÉ handheld.
Likewise, a lower value means lower sound quality, but lengthens the total Check-Out
time available on your CLIÉ handheld.
When you use an optional 128 MB MG Memory Stick media, you can record for
approximately the following length of time:
• When you record at 132 kbps: approx. 120 min.
• When you record at 105 kbps: approx. 160 min.
• When you record at 66 kbps: approx. 240 min.
