. According to the documentation, WMA files up to 192, MP3 files up to 320. If you rip MP3 files with LAME encoding, I find that is a very nice recording that will play anywhere. For years I have used CDEX, a free utility, then sucked them into iTunes for use with iDevices. I dont use iTunes for building SD cards, buts that's just me. Updated BS4 software allows 8G card. Not sure of spec.

WMA, does anybody seriously use WMA?

Using the directions, I show number 1. as  AP 1.3. 

Is that correct  or is the OS ?

The latest software for BeoSound4 is 2.15. This gives the new features as described in the supplemental instruction book that can be downloaded from the Bang & Olufsen website.
