Supported song files
The JM-5 can play back mp3 and WAV files (audio) and
Standard MIDI Files (SMF). The main difference between
audio and SMF files is that SMF files do not contain
vocal parts and rely on the JM-5’s internal tone genera-
tor for the sounds you hear.
Note: Audio files in the AIFF format are not supported.
