What are the differences among the various Recording Mode options?
The LS-10 provides numerous options for recording audio and transferring music to the recorder. The primary differences among the three audio formats employed by the LS-10 Linear PCM, MP3, and WMA are compression or lack of compression. The quality settings within each of those formats are defined by the level of detail in the digital record of the recorded sound. A wide and high frequency response (expressed in Hz or kHz) results in a higher-quality recording, but that quality requires a much greater usage of memory capacity than a lower-quality file. A high bit rate (expressed in kilobits per second, or kbps) results in a higher-quality recording, but that quality requires a much greater usage of memory capacity than a lower-quality file. The bit depth also effects quality and file size. The difference between 16-bit and 24-bit bit depth is in the frequency at which sound waves are sampled as part of the digital record of the recorded sound.
