Album file format: An Ots Album file can be likened to a virtual CD or DVD; a single album file that contains multiple items (tracks, track information, album cover art, etc).
True file format: Ots Album files provide a true file format, as opposed to the MP3 format, which is primarily a streaming format.
Portability: Ots files can be easily transferred between OtsAV installations.
Clean reliable format: The Ots Album file format is known as a clean, uncluttered, and reliable format.
Storage of additional data types: Ots Album files enable the storage of the additional data types that the new generation of audio/video application requires.
