What is an MP3 file?
MP3 is short for MPEG-1 Layer 3 (Moving Pictures Expert Group), a format for storing digital audio. MP3 is a compression form (like .zip) that reduces the file size with little reduction in audio quality. MP3 is used particularly for music distribution over the Internet. You can recognize MP3 files by their file extension, ".mp3".
