Glossary

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. CATEGORY A general grouping of audio tracks, for example, artist, album, or genre. DIGITAL 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 device is DRM-compliant. GIGABYTE (GB) About a thousand million bytes. A 1-GB device can store 1000 MB worth of MP3 files. If your MP3 files are encoded at 128 kbps and each file is about 4 minutes long, a 10-GB device can store about 2500 MP3 files. 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. Some other commonly used encoding rates are 160 or 192Kbps.
LITHIUM-ION BATTERY (LI-ION) 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-ion batteries are ideal for portable devices like yours. Lithium-ion batteries do not use poisonous metals, such as lead, mercury, or cadmium, and have no memory effect problems. However, they are more expensive than conventional nickel-cadmium (NiCad) and nickel metalhydride (NiMH) batteries. Your device uses a Li-Ion 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. MEMORY EFFECT A property of some NiCad batteries that can surface when a battery is not fully used or discharged before it is recharged. This can cause the battery to have a false memory as to how much electrical energy it can store. This results in significantly lower battery levels, even after a full charge. 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.
MUSIC LIBRARY An organized collection of audio tracks in your device. Tracks are grouped by categories: All tracks, Albums, Artists, and Genres. PLAYLIST A grouping of audio tracks. Using a playlist, you can create a playback sequence of audio tracks from multiple albums or categories without actually rearranging any audio tracks in the devices Music Library. You can also name a playlist, for example, My Favorite Pop Songs. SELECTED MUSIC LIST The Selected Music list is a line of tracks. You can choose an album or a playlist of tracks to be played. In Normal mode, tracks are played in the order in which they are queued. SHUFFLE A Play mode that randomly plays tracks once only from the 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 device uses the newer USB 2.0 standard that allows for higher speed transfers than USB 1.1
