What is MP3?

 

 

MP3 is an acronym for MPEG Layer 3, a type of

audio data compression that can reduce digital

sound files by a variable 12:1 ratio with virtually

no loss in quantity. It allows you to store more

music into less memory. Less memory means

being able to have a more compact unit, thus the

MP3 player.

 

 

MP3 files can be very small and yet retain a high

sound quality. MP3 files usually have the extension

.mp3, and can be downloaded from the Internet,

or can be legally made for personal use from the

audio CDs that you purchased.
