MP3 file format

The MP3 file format is a digital audio compression technology that reduces the size of sound files so they take up less space on devices while maintaining sound quality. It works by removing parts of the audio that are less perceptible to the human ear, allowing users to store more music and listen easily on various devices, such as smartphones and computers. First introduced in the 1990s, MP3 files became popular for music sharing and playback, revolutionizing how we consume music in the digital age.
