MP3

MP3, which stands for MPEG Audio Layer III, is a popular digital audio format that compresses music and sound files to reduce their size while maintaining quality. It does this by removing parts of the audio that are less noticeable to human ears, making files easier to store and share without significantly sacrificing sound fidelity. This compression allows high-quality audio to be stored on devices like smartphones, MP3 players, and computers, enabling convenient listening and distribution of music and audio content.
