What is an MP3? |
| Answer |
An MP3 (the accepted abbreviation for MPEG 1 audio layer 3) is a music file that has been compressed in a way that enables it to reproduce near-CD quality music, but with a much smaller size file. This enables high-quality music download, transfer and reproduction.
One minute of music is equivalent to about 1.5Mb of hard disk space at a bitrate of 192kbps, a size easily swallowed by an everyday modern computer. (The higher the bitrate the better the quality of the downloaded music. Chandos uses this higher than normal bitrate so that the quality of our sound is transferred to you, the customer, as accurately as possible with only a slight increase in file size. |
