What is MP3?
MP3 stands for
MPEG1 (or MPEG2) Audio Layer III. Too often people refer MP3 as
MPEG3, which is incorrect, because such format doesn't even exist.
MP3 is a popular compression format used for audio files on computers
and portable devices. It is a method to store good quality audio
into small files by using psychoacoustics in order to get rid of
the data from the audio that most of the humans can't hear.
MP3's bitrates vary from 8kbps to 320kbps. A typical MP3 file encoded
at 128kbps is near CD quality. MP3 audio is increasingly being used
in video production coupled with various MPEG4 video codecs like
divx.
