audio/mpeg

Audio/mpeg refers to a standard format for compressing and storing digital audio data, commonly known as MP3. It reduces the file size by removing parts of the sound that are less noticeable to human ears, making it easier to share and store music, podcasts, and other audio recordings. Despite the compression, it maintains good sound quality and is widely supported across devices and platforms. In essence, audio/mpeg is a method that efficiently encodes audio files, balancing file size and sound fidelity for convenient digital playback and distribution.
