About MP3/WMA/AAC

CAUTION
Except for private use, duplicating audio data (including MP3/
WMA/AAC data) or distributing, transferring, or copying it,
whether for free or for a fee, without permission of the copyright
holder is strictly prohibited by the Copyright Act and by

What is MP3?
MP3, whose official name is "MPEG Audio Layer 3", is a
compression standard prescribed by the ISO, the International
Standardisation Organisation and MPEG which is a joint activity
institution of the IEC.
MP3 files contain compressed audio data. MP3 encoding is
capable of compressing audio data at extremely high ratios,
reducing the size of music files to as much as one-tenth their
original size. This is achieved while still maintaining near CD
quality. The MP3 format realizes such high compression ratios
by eliminating the sounds that are either inaudible to the human
ear or masked by other sounds.
What is WMA?
WMA, or "Windows Media™ Audio", is compressed audio data.
WMA is similar to MP3 audio data.
