What bit rate does the MP3 encode to? Or is it custom?

Well from what I've read it looks like it's bit rate is 128kbps.. I haven't listened to recorded music yet but I have tried hooking it up to my phone and they didn't communicate however from what I've read is that you plug a thumb drive/sd card or an mp3 player and it will work... I don't have an mp3 player so... I hope that helps

That depends on the media. Music through the audio-in jack was good while music from the MP3 disc was mixed. I ended up returning it since the mp3 capacity was not as claimed. My previous Sony (CFD-440) was exceptionally good.

Yes, any mp3 can be loaded onto and used on it as long as the file isn't corrupted

@JohnMy old ears don't hear any significant difference between ogg/mp3 encodes, but I do prefer ogg because:* the same-sounding encodes are smaller* the FOSS angleI suspect the cheap Chinese players you mention support ogg more for the free-to-use angle than out of any great love of FOSS. Still, I take your point.

I put a MP3 file on my 32GB SDHC card, played fine. The next size up, 64GB, requires SDXC which is a different file format, haven't tested.

If you look at the device your question is being asked about you will see that it states that it is a 4 GB drive. If you want to have the effective capacity of an 8 GB drive in number of songs then simply reduce the bitrate by half and reconvert your songs. For example if the bitrate for your MP3 songs are all at 320 kbps then simply re-convert using a bitrate of 156 kbps or the closest allowable number. You should not be able to hear much if any difference between the two bitrates.

I'm not sure....I only remember loading mp3 and JPEG. If I can find the owners manual, I'll find out.

mine has about 300 on it right now but it can vary quite a bit depending on the lengths of the songs and the bit rate at which the files are encoded.

Its like a thumb drive - I just identified music or other files and copied them over to the COWON. Since I had more music than the device would hold I was able to specify that the music be down converted to a coarser resolution.

I've put up to 16 gigs but the unit has many limitations. Takes only MP3, can't read info on the tracks heard, No memory of where you stop when unit is turned off. Appears not to read sequentially all the tracks.

Good Afternoon,I would have to assume it does so since it says it reads MP3.Thank you.

I am not sure. I brought this as a gift for my mother in law. She plays your standard CD's I can't speak for mp3 CD's because she does not own any. Sorry. Otherwise, she loves it and uses it often.

Actually on Windows, I convert my CD's to mp3 using the included Microsoft Media Player. Under the "rip music" tab in the preference you can select the format as "mp3" and dial up the "Audio Quality" to as much as 320 bps. Once set in preferences it runs automatically every time I stick in a CD. You don't need to add software to do this. For me the sound quality seem great ... but do note I am no longer a young person and my hearing is not what it used to be ... so this particular part of my opinion should be taken with that in mind.

I use SD cards and the music on them is MP3. I use old SD cards from years ago that had been in cameras. I didn't even reformat them. I use it plugged in and I love it. I play stuff all night to cover the background noise and some times I leave it on all day. I switch cards often so I have different music on each. I haven't tried it with a stick.

No. from the user manual... "* Based on continuous playback at 128 Kbps MP3; actual life and performance may vary depending upon usage and settings; battery not replaceable"

Right click on the MP3 Filename. You should have "Audiozilla Convert to" as one of our selections. Choose from there and the rest is self explanatory.

Sorry Wayne, I can't asnwer that question as I don't even know what mp3 really is. I can say that it is very easy to record LP's to CD's. That is the reason I brought this machine. I have about 1,500 to transfer to CD.
