What is MP3

MP3, whose official name is “MPEG Audio Layer 3”, is a compression standard prescribed by the ISO, the International Standardization Organization and MPEG which is a joint activity institution of the IEC.MP3 files contain compressed audio data. MP3 encoding is capable of compressing the audio data at extremely high ratios shrinking music files by as much as one-tenth their original size. This is achieved while still maintaining near CD quality. The MP3 format realizes such high compression ratios by eliminating the sounds which are either inaudible to the human ear or masked by other sounds.
