How does a MP3 work?

An MP3 file is an audio file that uses a compression algorithm to reduce the overall file size. It’s known as a “lossy” format because that compression is irreversible and some of the source’s original data is lost during the compression. It’s still possible to have fairly high quality MP3 music files, though.

How does MP3 file compression work?

With regard to audio compression (the aspect of the standard most apparent to end-users, and for which it is best known), MP3 uses lossy data-compression to encode data using inexact approximations and the partial discarding of data. This allows a large reduction in file sizes when compared to uncompressed audio.

How is MP3 data stored?

Just like telegrams and JPGs, MP3 is a lossy compression. Inside an MP3 file, music is stored as long strings of bits (binary numbers, zeros and ones) in a series of chunks called frames. Each frame starts with a short header (a kind of table of contents), followed by the music data itself.

What is an advantage of MP3?

Advantages of the MP3 format: Practicality: MP3 is an audio format that can be distributed incredibly easily over the network, because, unlike lossless audio files, the MP3 format compresses the redundant information of an audio file, requiring less storage space and thereby facilitating network distribution.

What is MP3 good for?
