MP3 technology

MP3 (MPEG-1 Audio Layer III) is a digital audio compression format that reduces the size of music and sound files, making them easier to store and share. It works by removing parts of the audio that are less noticeable to human ears, such as very quiet sounds or frequencies beyond human hearing. This compression retains most of the original sound quality while significantly decreasing file size, enabling music and audio to be streamed or downloaded efficiently. MP3 technology revolutionized digital music, allowing millions of songs to fit on portable devices and facilitating online music sharing.
