With great looks and breeze to use features, the Nokia N76 is the perfect mobile phone set that any users would love to possess.
The Nokia N76 is a smart phone accomplished with many regular and exclusive set of features. And in this series of stunning features comes array of popular formats that one encounters in the built in media players. It can play songs or tracks of your choice supporting MP3, WAV, MIDI, AAC, eAAC, eAAC+, M4A & WMA platforms.
What difference these music-platforms make to the over all experience - is the question which is often repeated and asked by many users?
Starting with MP3.
MPEG Audio Layer 3 or simply MP3 is an audio compression technology which compresses CD-quality sound by a factor of roughly 10, while retaining most of the original fidelity. Through this technology a 40MB CD track is turned into a 4MB MP3 file.
The WAV (or WAVE), short for Waveform audio format, found in the Nokia N76 is a Microsoft and IBM audio file format standard for storing audio on PCs.
It is to be noted that the WAV format has in the recent times has declined in popularity because of its size. However, it is still incorporated in gadgets because of its relatively "pure", i.e. lossless, file type.
Advanced Audio Coding or AAC is another format found in Nokia N76 , it is a standardized, lossy compression and encoding scheme for digital audio of songs and tracks. It gives much better sound quality than the more popular MP3 format when compared at the same bitrate (especially for bitrates below about 100 kbit/s.)
And M4A is another very popular format found in the Nokia N76. It is the extension of MP3 with much better audio quality and lesser file size.
Plus point about MP4 is that unlike MP3, no licenses or payments are required to be able to stream or distribute content in M4A format. This fact alone, is more than enough reason to use M4A files instead of MP3 files, and Nokia N76 is compatible with this format.
