MP3 - Music on the Internet
Lesson #1
What is MP3?
MP3 is a compression form (like .zip) for audio/music files. The name MP3 stands for Mpeg 1 Audio Layer 3. MP3 is simply the best way to compress audio for downloading from the Internet. MP3 is now the industry standard and there are more software programs and hardware devices for MP3 than any other CD quality audio format in the world.

The genius behind MP3 is its high compression and high quality capabilities. A 3 minute WAV file would take up almost 30 MB of disk space while the same file recorded in MP3 format takes up only 2 MB.

MP3 is what all those small bands needed to get noticed. On the Internet, there is an equal opportunity for big and small music groups to get their music to the masses. MP3 will turn the music industry in a new direction.

We recommend going to our MP3 Player page and downloading a program to get started. Then search the Internet for MP3 files and start listening to great music. For those that are a little more technical, try one of the CD Rippers and turn your home audio CD's into MP3 format.
