An WMA file is a Microsoft audio compression
technology.
WMA(Windows Media Audio) offers double the audio
compression of the MP3 format.
with this player

1. Sampling Frequency / only at 44.1kHz (MP3),
22.05 - 44.1 kHz (WMA)
2. Bit rate / within 32 - 320kbps (MP3),
32 - 128kbps (WMA)
3. CD-R physical format should be "ISO 9660"
4. If you record MP3/WMA files using the software
which cannot create a FILE SYSTEM, for example
"Direct-CD" etc., it is impossible to playback
MP3/WMA files. We recommend that you use "EasyCD Creator", which creates an ISO9660 file system.
5. A single session disc requires MP3/WMA files in the
first track. If there is no MP3/WMA file in the 1st
track, it cannot playback MP3/WMA files. If you wish
to playback MP3/WMA files, format all the data in
the disc or use a new one.
6. File names should be named using 8 letters or less
and must incorporate ".mp3" or ".wma" extension
e.g.' ......... .MP3" or .......... .WMA".
7. Do not use special letters such as '7 : * ? "< >" etc.
8. Total number of files on the disc should be less than
650.
This DVD+VCR requires discs/recordings to meet
certain technical standards in order to achieve optimal
playback quality. Pre-recorded DVDs are automatically
set to these standards. There are many different types
of recordabte disc formats (including CD-R containing
MP3 or WMA files). That require certain pre-existing
conditions (see above) to insure compatible playback.
Customers should also note that permission is
required in order to download MP3/WMA files and
music from the Internet. Our company has no right
to grant such permission. Permission should
always be sought from the copyright owner.
