• CDex is used for creating .WAV files from Audio CDs. It has its own inbuilt MP3 encryption which can be used.

• MP3Pro is used for creating MP3 files from .WAV files. This program is the latest iteration of the MP3 standard which produces smaller MP3 files from .WAV files with enhanced audio. Use this program so space is maximised on the MMC Cards

• The portable player is capable of reading both MP3 & MP3Pro files. Both have a file extension of .MP3. Use CDex then MP3Pro to create your own MP3s from your CDs or get them from elsewhere. Some of the latest download sites can be found @ www.mp3.ltd.uk
