User manual TERRATEC CAR4000

[. . . ] The compression of audio files has been a matter of interest long before the days of Napster and similar companies. Nowadays, most users know about the advantages of MP3 as one of the most popular audio compression formats: It reduces the size of an audio title to 1/11 of its original size. 4000 now enables you to use all of the advantages of the MP3 format, in combination with your Hi-Fi equipment.

Friends of mobile MP3 will also benefit from the insertion for MMC memory cards. If you want to go jogging you can use it as a gas station for your portable player and refill your memory card. After having finished the recording, you can use the remote control functions to enter information such as the artist, album and track title ­ just like composing an SMS message from your mobile phone. The integrated title database is a real feature of the product. As well as creating all kinds of playback selection filters, you can also evaluate any, or all, tracks using a `personal preference' scale from +2 (really cool) to -2 (oh no, not again!).
