The continuous playback time is a reference value but is not guaranteed, since the actual playback time will vary depending on the operating condition, ambient operating temperature, the number of times the built-battery has been recharged, etc.
Even under allowable operating conditions, using the gigabeat at low temperature will result in a reduction of the maximum continuous playback time.
Playback with the Harmonics on, WAV audio data, and WMA
9 Lossless use more battery power for playback than MP3 and WMA. Continuous playback time will be reduced accordingly.
