MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3, more commonly referred to as MP3, is a popular digital audio encoding and lossy compression format, designed to greatly reduce the amount of data required to represent audio, yet still sound like a faithful reproduction of the original uncompressed audio to most listeners. It was invented by a team of European engineers who worked in the framework of the EUREKA 147 DAB digital radio research program, and it became an ISO/IEC standard in 1991.
The MP3 format uses a hybrid transformation to transform a time domain signal into a frequency domain signal:
MP3 :: Sound Files
Napster :: News and Media
Software :: MP3
File Sharing :: Clients
