background music or any other audio application where high-quality audio playback is required. Messages are stored on non-volatile removable flash media cards called Message Mates, and are available in capacities from the base 64-minutes to well over 8-hours of storage. The Messager is capable of playback of MP3 files from 8Kbps all the way up to full CD-quality audio playback of 128Kbps/48KHz.

Message Mates can be programmed using the Messager MP3+ and a standard PC running Windows XP or above. Simply plug a USB cable from the Messager into an available USB port on your computer and the Message Mate plugged into the Messager will show up as a removable drive. Once connected, files can be added or removed by a simple drag-and-drop, just like you would with a digital camera card or any other type of removable media. No special software is required - just plug and go!
