The main advantage of MP3 is that it enables storage of CD-quality music tracks on a home computer in manageable, compressed files.

Thanks to compression you now only need about 4 Mb of disc space for a 4 minute music track, compared with some 40 Mb for conventional file formats, but with almost no reduction in listening quality!
