about half the size of standard MP3.
Directory function
(MP3(WMA)-CD Only)
The Directory function allows easy
browsing and searching of your
favorite tunes by album name, song
title and artist.
VEOS function
The VEOS function ensures high
resistance to shock or vibration so
that the sound signal remains
undisturbed.
