Both types of files can be played on this unit, but the search and super fast search functions are slower with VBR files. If your priority is operability, we recommend recording MP3 files in CBR. About music file artwork The file format for artwork images that can be added to music files is JPEG (extensions: “.jpg” or “.jpeg”). ! Files larger than 800 x 800 dots cannot be displayed. About AAC files ! ! ! AAC is the abbreviation of “Advanced Audio Coding”, a basic format of audio compression technology used for MPEG-2 and MPEG-4. The file format and extension of AAC data depends on the application used to create the data. On this unit, in addition to AAC files encoded with iTunes® and with the extension “.m4a”, files with the extensions “.aac” and “.mp4” files can also be played. However, AAC files that are copyright-protected, such as those purchased from the iTunes Store, cannot be played. Also, depending on the version of iTunes in which the file was encoded, it may not be possible to play the file. About character displays CD-TEXT This unit is compatible with CD-TEXT.
