What is MP3?
MPEG layer 3 is a type of audio codec where processed by significant compression from the original audio source with very little loss in sound quality. The compression up to 12:1 produces a very little degradation. Tighter compression can be achieved, but it will effect in sound degradation results.
MP3 or MPEG layer 3 is a sound file that has been significantly compressed through MP3 encoding making it smaller (compressed up to 12:1) from the original source file with very little loss in sound quality. This compression model is based on the capability of eliminating those frequencies which the human ear is unable to hear. The smaller MP3 files (usually around one megabytes for one minute of music) make it possible to offer music downloads over the Internet. Compare to an average audio compact disc which holds about 700 megabytes of data or around 70 megabytes per song, that a significant improvement over file size. The standard bit rates (near CD quality result) is 128 or 112 kbit/s. The disadvantage of MP3 compression is that lots of processing power is needed to encode and play these files as they have to be decompressed when playing. Therefore you must play it on your computer or using an MP3 player hardware. It can not be played on an ordinary home stereo CD player (you can h
MP3 is a digital audio format encoded as MPEG-1 audio-3. MP3 is a very common format and it is the only audio format that almost all digital media support. The quality of the MP3 varies depending on its bit rate. Bitrates range from 32 kilobits per second to 320 kilobits per second. The higher the bit rate, the better the MP3 quality.
