We also tested the TEAC MP-8000 player's playback capabilities with many different types of MP3, WMA and video files. The songs were made with a variety of constant and variable bitrates and the device didn’t have a problem in reproducing them all. In the following table, we see the test file types and bitrates.

The Teac MP-8000 MP3 player can also read ID3 tags and can display various information about each song. The sound quality was really good at all volume levels and the maximum sound level was adequate for listening even in noisy environments. We also tried the drive's recording capabilities by connecting an external CD player via the Line In input. The resulting MP3 files were very good at all the available bitrates. As for the internal microphone, it works fine for a memo voice recording, but the quality is not the best we've ever heard.
