Type of file
and compression
method utilizing the MPEG
compression standard
to reduce the size of a file. MP3
files are commonly used to store
a song or complete CD
and require very little hard disk
drive space
when compared to other types of files. Because of the file
size, it is possible for a computer user to
store several hundred or thousand songs on their computer and listen
to the songs without needing to place the CD into the computer.
In addition to being able to store MP3 files, because of the size,
users can also share
MP3 files with other Internet
users. This has caused many songs and CDs to be downloaded from
various file
sharing services without having to purchase the CD.

information and help with MP3 files.
