Q3. What is MP3?
A.
MP3 is a short term for MPEG Audio Layer 3. It is a
compressed form of audio file with varying settings for quality.
Q4. What is WMA?
A.
WMA is Windows Media Audio, Microsoft's version of
audio compression. The quality is a bit better than that of MP3 and it can also
be protected with a copyright tag. Most legally sold music on the internet is
in this form with the copyright tag so that you cannot distribute it freely.
Q5. Can I just copy music from CDs into an MPIO MP3 player?
A.
CDs are encoded in a CDA, Compact Disk Audio,
format and are only supported by CD players. You need to compress
your music into MP3 or WMA format prior to transferring them to your player.
This method of compression is called Ripping.
Q6. What can I use to Rip a music or audio CD?
A.
You can use many different programs available from
third party software vendors. If you are a PC user, the most popular ones are
Windows Media Player, RealPlayer, Music Match Jukebox, etc. If you are a Mac
user, then you can use iTunes. Please make sure that the encoding format is
selected at MP3 audio for all the above mentioned programs or they will not
work. If your program of choice is Windows Media Player, then you may also use
the WMA format, although you might want to have the copy protection option
unchecked for ease of use with all MPIO brand MP3 players.

Q10.
I can't copy music to my MP3 player although it's not totally full?
-
This problem is found on most MP3 flash players, The
problem occurs while you copy all of you files into the ROOT directory(like so
F:\ )to solve this issue you will need to create and put your songs in
sub-directories, (like ROCK, JAZZ, BLUES Etc)
and moving your music
files to the created directories, this will help you organize your files
and make browsing them easier
on the player it self, instead of going through a 200 song list you will be
able to find each song very easily.
Q11.
I purchased music On-Line but it will not play or show on my MP3 player?
-
Songs purchased On-Line are DRM protected, some of
the MP3 players will not play protected songs(like the I-Bulldog
IMP-90,FE-100 and HD200,HD300),
Some players will support this file format automatically with no need of third
party
software or driver, you should check our support page for your player to
see if you might need a Windows Media Player
Plug In download it and install, and you can transfersongs
through Windows Media Player to your MP3 player and listen to
your new songs.
-
For players which do not support DRM files, you
could burn your music on a CD and then RIP back the CD to your
computer
