What is MP3?

MP3 stands for MPEG-1 Audio Layer-3. It is the most popular compressed audio file format. An MP3 file is about one tenth the size of the original audio file. For example, the audiobook of "Guardians of the West" by David Eddings is 15.3 hours long and is contained in 14 regular audio compact disks (CDs). However, the entire audiobook, all 15.3 hours, fits on one MP3 CD. MP3 CDs will play on your computer and on audio or video players ("boom boxes," DVD players, etc.) that are MP3 compatible. Players will state on them if they are MP3 compatible. Contents of MP3 disks can also be transferred to iPods and other MP3 personal entertainment devices.
