About MP3 (MPEG-1 Audio Layer III)

Technical specifications and use cases

MP3 is a lossy audio compression format that revolutionized digital music. It uses perceptual coding to reduce file sizes by up to 90% while maintaining acceptable audio quality. MP3 is the most widely supported audio format and works on virtually every device and platform. It's perfect for music storage, streaming, and sharing, though newer formats like AAC offer better quality at similar file sizes.
