AUDIBLEAudible format is used for Audiobooks which can be downloaded and listened to on your Dell DJ Ditty. When you stop listening to an Audiobook and return to it later, it will still be at the same place. BITRATE A bitrate indicates the average number of bits in 1 second of a digital audio track. MP3 encoders allow you to specify the bitrate when making MP3 files. The higher the bitrate, the better the audio quality. Unfortunately, this also means a larger file size. D IGITAL RIGHTS MANAGEMENT (DRM) A technology enabling the copyright owner of intellectual property, like a digital audio track, to control file usage. It is normally used to allow you to download digital audio tracks while preventing you from distributing the files to other people or other devices. With DRM, digital audio tracks contain digital signatures. Your Dell DJ Ditty is DRM-compliant. EQ Short for "Graphic Equalizer". Different settings will boost or reduce certain frequencies and enchance the sound. FIRMWARE The software in your device that allows you to perform numerous functions including playing audio.
KBPS Kilobits-per-second. A measure of how good the bitrate is. 128 kbps
is the standard bitrate for MP3 files. 128-kbps MP3s are near-CD quality. 64 Appendix
Some other commonly used encoding rates are 160 or 192kbps. LITHIUM-POLYMER BATTERY (LI-POLY) A battery composed of lithium, a light metal with high electrochemical potential. Lithium batteries are light and store high amounts of electrical energy. Because of this, lithium-polymer batteries are ideal for your portable device. Lithiumpolymer batteries do not use poisonous metals, such as lead, mercury, or cadmium, and have no "memory effect" problems (caused by not being fully discharged before a new recharge, and remembering a shorter battery cycle). However, they are more expensive than conventional nickel-cadmium (NiCad) and nickel metalhydride (NiMH) batteries. Your Dell DJ Ditty uses a Li-Poly battery. MEGABYTE (MB) About 1 million bytes. Bytes, megabytes, and gigabytes are measures of how much data a storage device can hold. For example, a 3-minute MP3 encoded at standard bitrates is approximately 3 MB in size. MP3 A member of the MPEG compression family, MP3 is a commonly used compressed digital-audio format. MP3 encoding transforms digital audio files (like WAV) to provide reasonable audio quality in relatively small file sizes. P LAYSFORSUREDigital Rights Managed music in WMA format (See reference to Digital Rights Management above). SHUFFLE A Play mode that randomly plays tracks once only from the Appendix 65
Selected Music list. SHUFFLE REPEAT A Play Mode that randomly plays tracks from the Selected Music List repeatedly. USB Universal Serial Bus. A moderately high-speed input/output technology for "hot swap" data transfers, meaning that you can connect or disconnect a USB device without turning off your computer. Your Dell DJ Ditty uses the newer USB 2.0 standard that allows for higher speed transfers than USB 1.1. WMA Windows Media Audio. This is the standard used by Windows Media. Your Dell DJ Ditty can play tracks in this format, as well as MP3.
