MP3 Operation
MP3
MP3 denotes a process and/or format developed
by the Fraunhofer Institute for the compression
of audio data.
In the MP3 format, recordings of music are com-
pressed to a fraction of their original size, which,
on CD-Rs/CD-RWs for example, allows for
storage of a considerably greater volume of
music than on commercially available audio
CDs, on which audio data is stored in the CDA
format.
