One minute of music requires approx. 11 MB memory space on a CD. The compressed MP3 format

manages with approx 1 MB per minute of music depending on the compressing rate. This results in a minor

loss in quality, which is hardly audible even on HIFI equipment. The file extension is ”.mp3".

WAV is an uncompressed digital audio format, e.g. for CDs (then, however, it has a different name) and

requires extensive memory space. WAV files have the extension ".wav"

Windows Media Audio (WMA) is a Microsoft standard for digital music. Files are recognized by their file

extension ".wma". In contrast to MP3, this format includes simultaneously copy protection which is

guaranteed by the Windows –Media –Digital –Rights Management (DRM).

Important!

WMA files can only be played on your MP3 player, when the copy protection code has been legalised. WMA

files have to be copied from your Microsoft Media Player 10 from your computer. Your MP3 player supports

DRM 10.
