When I connect a headphone to my device it doesn't work properly, what can I do? Verified

It is possible that dirt has amassed in the opening where the headphone is connected, preventing it from making proper contact. The best way to clean this is with compressed air. When in doubt, have this done by a professional.

What is the difference between Mp3, WAV, AIFF and FLAC? Verified

The difference is that WAV, AIFF and FLAC are lossless filetypes where Mp3 is a 'lossy' filetype. This means that to create an Mp3, a higher amount of compression is applied. This makes the files smaller, but also results in a loss of quality.

What does Mp3 stand for? Verified

Mp3 is short for MPEG3. This stands for Moving Picture Experts Group Layer-3 Audio. Mp3 is the most used file format for storing and playing music or other forms of audio.
