What is MP3?
MP3 is an abbreviation of Motion Picture Experts Group (or
MPEG) Audio Layer 3. MP3 is simply a file format with a
data compression ratio of 1:10 (128 Kbps*).
That means,by using MP3 format, one CD-R or CD-RW can
contain 10 times as much data volume as a regular CD can.
*Bit rate is the average number of bits that one second of
audio data will consume. The measuring unit used is Kbps
(1000 bits per second).
To get a better audio quality, choose a higher bit rate. The
most popular bit rate for encoding (recording)is 128 Kbps.
