What is an MP3 Song
MP3 Songs’ technical name is MPEG Layer-3, usually abbreviated as MP3. The
lename extension is .mp3. This is a compressed audio le, used to store re-
corded songs in the smallest amount of space, without losing too much audio
quality. At the highest quality, MP3 les are usually impossible to distinguish
from non-compressed audio les. Pa5X can play and record MP3 les.
