MP3 stands for MPEG 1 layer 3. It is an efficient way to store
high-quality music or other audio content on your computer.
MP3 files can be 1/4 to 1/20 the size of a commercial CD audio
file—yet retain a high sound quality. MP3 files usually have the
extension .mp3, and can be downloaded from the Internet, or can
be legally made for personal use from your favorite CDs that you
purchased.
Warning!—It is illegal to encode MP3 files for trade or sale unless
you have the expressed and explicit permission of the copyright
holder(s).
