Note: MP3 is a music compression technology that
reduces a song’s file size without noticeable effect in the
quality of the sound. Through compression algorithms, the
MP3 format makes it easy for you to store many times the
number of songs you would find on a conventional audio
CD. In fact, an MP3 CD can contain as much music as ten
standard audio CDs on just one disc, which can then be
organized into folders on a PC before being stored on the
disc.
