This means that you need a large amount of data storage memory in order to store music files in main memory. If memory is being used by other applications you have installed or other data files, you may not have enough memory available to store the music file you want to play. If this happens, perform the following steps. - Play back the music file directly from a storage card. Store the music file onto a storage card and then use Music Player to specify playback from the card. - Delete some applications you no longer need to free up more data storage memory. See the applicable user documentation for information about uninstalling applications. <> Music playback puts a heavy demand on your CASSIOPEIA's CPU. Do not leave your CASSIOPEIA connected to your PC during music playback. Playing music in the background while using another application can cause the other application to slow down, or skipping of the music playback. <> Music playback requires a large amount of memory. If the message "There is not enough memory to complete the operation you are attempting." appears during playback, perform the following steps to quit other applications. 1. Tap [Top Menu] -> [Settings] -> [Memory] -> [Task Manager]. 2. Tap the application you want to quit once so it is highlighted. 3. Tap the [Stop] button. 4.

Listening to audio at very high volume settings can adversely affect hearing. Also, be sure to consider the feelings of people around you. In a quiet environment, even a relatively low volume setting can cause sound to leak from your earphones and disturb people around you. <> Copyrights Except for your own personal enjoyment, copyright laws forbid any reproduction of image and movie format files, and audio and music format files without the permission of the copyright holder.
