Troubleshooting
• Why won’t some les be recognized by the digital audio player? Some MP3 or WMA les won’t play.
• This digital audio player supports most standard bitrate and le settings, but due to the large number of
compression types, and with new types being added all the time, not all les are recognized. Try to convert
any les that don’t play into a standard bitrate (128kbps, 196kbps, etc.) mp3 or wma le without special
settings in the encoder. Then upload the new le to the digital audio player and try again.
• The track’s playback time is not correct. Why?
• VBR format MP3 les may not display the proper track time. Try a xed bitrate letype if an accurate
track time is needed.
