About MP3
MP3 (MPEG 1, Audio Layer 3) is a digital audio format
for quick downloading files that sound as good as CDs.
MP3 uses entropy encoding to reduce the number of
redundant sounds in an audio signal to a minimum. It
takes music from a CD and reduces it by a factor of 12,
with no noticeable loss of quality. On a normal CD of
74 minutes you can store over 130 songs.
