MP3 is an audio compression method and
classified into audio layer 3 of MPEG stan-
dards. This audio compression method has
penetrated into PC users and become a stan-
dard format. This MP3 features the original au-
dio data compression to about 10 percent of its
initial size with a high quality sound. This
means that about 10 music CDs can be re-
corded on a CD-R disc or CD-RW disc to allow
a long listening time without having to change
CDs.
