MP3 format

MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer III) is a popular digital audio format that compresses sound files to reduce their size while maintaining good quality. It works by removing parts of the audio that are less noticeable to human ears, allowing files to be stored and streamed more efficiently. This makes MP3s ideal for music downloads, streaming, and storage on devices with limited space. Despite the compression, MP3s preserve much of the original sound fidelity, making them a widely used format for audio sharing and consumption.
