Our support team searches for useful product information and answers to frequently asked questions. If you find an inaccuracy in our frequently asked questions, please let us know by using our contact form.
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.
This was helpful (38) Read moreWhat 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.
This was helpful (29) Read moreWhat 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.
This was helpful (19) Read moreHow much are kilobyte, megabyte, gigabyte and terabyte? Verified
One kilobyte consists of 1000 bytes. 1 megabyte = 1000 kilobyte. 1 gigabyte = 1000 megabyte. 1 terabyte = 1000 gigabyte.
