MP3
(MPEG-1, Layer 3) Using MPEG audio, one may achieve a typical data reduction of 1:4 by Layer 1 (corresponds with 384 Kbps for a stereo signal), 1:6...1:8 by Layer 2 (corresponds with 256..192 Kbps for a stereo signal), 1:10...1:12 by Layer 3 (corresponds with 128..112 Kbps for a stereo signal). By exploiting stereo effects and by limiting the audio bandwidth, the coding schemes may achieve an acceptable sound quality at even lower bitrates. MPEG Layer-3 is the most powerful member of the MPEG audio coding family. For a given sound quality level, it requires the lowest bitrate - or for a given bitrate, it achieves the highest sound quality. For the use of low bit-rate audio coding schemes in broadcast applications at bitrates of 60 Kbit/s per audio channel, the ITU-R recommends MPEG Layer-3. (ITU-R doc. BS.1115)

MP3
Stands for "MPEG-1 Audio Layer-3." It's the latest standard for compressing audio files. On average, an MP3 file is about one-twelfth the size of the original audio file. However, the sound is nearly CD-quality. Because of their small size and exceptional sound, MP3s have become extremely popular. In fact, there are many web sites, like MP3.com and RioPort.com, containing huge archives of MP3 audio files. To listen to MP3s, you'll need a program like WinAmp (PC) or MacAmp (Mac). To create an MP3 file from a CD, you'll need an encoder program to convert the audio track to an MP3 file. "Is this legal?", you ask. Well, that's a good question. In fact, the issue has yet to be resolved. To get all your MP3 questions answered, check out the CNET Music Center.

MP3
It uses a lossy compression algorithm that is designed to greatly reduce the amount of data required to represent the audio recording, yet still sound like a faithful reproduction of the original uncompressed audio to most listeners. It was invented by a team of European engineers at Philips, CCETT (Centre commun d'études de télévision et télécommunications), IRT and Fraunhofer Society, who worked in the framework of the EUREKA 147 DAB digital radio research program, and it became an ISO/IEC standard in 1991.
