History
In definition MP3 is MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3, the format for compressing sound sequence into a very small file while keeping the original sound quality. MP3's is an audio of the MPEG industry, a standard developed by ISO which was officially standardized in 1992. MP3's really started back in Germany in 1987, under the research program EUREKA and was named EU-147; a professor then developed another algorithm which eventually became known as the ISO MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3.
MP3's are one of the many best things that happened in the new age of technology. The MP3 generation started with a large amount of audience using the internet, and not from an industry. There are many audio files .wav, wma, and mp3, but only mp3 music files are known to play in any audio devise. With MP3's you can download songs in minutes depending on your internet connection speed rather than in hours. MP3 is simply a file format that compresses a song into a smaller size. It is then easier to move around on the internet. MP3 music files are CD quality, depending on its bit rate. MP3 files that are encoded with lower bit rate will play at a lower quality than from a higher bit rate. The quality of MP3 files really depend on the difficulty of the signal being recorded and the encoder. A 33 MB song on a CD compresses down to about 3 MB.
