MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3, more commonly
referred to as MP3, is a digital audio encoding format using a form of lossy
data compression.
It is a common audio format for consumer audio storage, as well as a de facto
standard encoding for the transfer and playback of music on digital audio
players.
MP3 is an audio-specific format that was co-designed by several teams of
engineers at Fraunhofer IIS in Erlangen, Germany, AT&T-Bell Labs in Murray Hill,
NJ, USA, Thomson-Brandt, and CCETT. It was approved as an ISO/IEC standard in
1991.
MP3's use of a lossy compression algorithm is designed to greatly reduce the
amount of data required to represent the audio recording and still sound like a
faithful reproduction of the original uncompressed audio for most listeners, but
is not considered high fidelity audio by audiophiles. An MP3 file that is
created using the mid-range bit rate setting of 128 kbit/s will result in a file
that is typically about 1/10th the size of the CD file created from the original
audio source. An MP3 file can also be constructed at higher or lower bit rates,
with higher or lower resulting quality. The compression works by reducing
accuracy of certain parts of sound that are deemed beyond the auditory
resolution ability of most people. This method is commonly referred to as
perceptual coding. It internally provides a representation of sound within a
short term time/frequency analysis window, by using psychoacoustic models to
discard or reduce precision of components less audible to human hearing, and
recording the remaining information in an efficient manner. This is relatively
similar to the principles used by JPEG, an image compression format.
