MP3, WMA, and WAV are three output formats supported by NoteBurner. The following is an brief introduction to those formats:
--MP3: it is a compressed audio format that allows for smaller file sizes with similar sound quality to PCM WAV format, the format found on normal music CDs you would buy in a store. It is perfect for downloading and sending through the Internet because of its much smaller file size.
--WMA: a Microsoft file format for encoding digital audio files similar to MP3 though can compress files at a higher rate than MP3.
--WAV: Music tracks in WAV format are extremely large in file size, averaging around 50MB in size. WAV files can be played by nearly all Windows applications that support sound.
--Virtual Drive: NoteBurner will create a virtual drive on your computer so that music can be converted quickly. Then what is a Virtual Drive?
A virtual drive is a term used with respect to computers when a drive is emulated in some fashion. The drive being emulated could be a hard drive, floppy drive or CD drive or DVD drive among others.
--ID3 Tag V1/2: The ID3 tag is attached to an MP3 audio file to carry information relevant to that MP3.
You can find options for those two terms in Settings window when you choose MP3 as the output format. Checking these two options makes you get MP3 files to carry information about the audio and not just the audio itself, such as Song Title, Artist, Album, Year and Comment. |
