WHAT IS MP3 ?
- MP3 (MPEG 2, LAYER 3) IS A DIGITAL FILE FORMAT FOR AUDIO (MUSIC).
- YOU CAN DOWNLOAD MP3 SONGS FROM MANY WEBSITES ON THE INTERNET
(PLEASE OBSERVE THE COPYRIGHT REGULATIONS OF YOUR COUNTRY).
- MP3 SONGS ARE MUCH SMALLER IN MEMORY SIZE COMPARED WITH NORMAL
CD-AUDIO FORMAT SONGS. THIS IS CALLED "COMPRESSION" & IT ALLOWS MUCH
MORE RECORDING TIME ON A STANDARD CD THAN THE NORMAL 74 MINUTES (FOR
NORMAL CD-AUDIO).
- THE EXACT LENGTH OF RECORDING TIME DEPENDS ON THE "COMPRESSION RATE"
OF THE MP3 SONG YOU HAVE DOWNLOADED.
- COMPRESSION RATE IS SPECIFIED IN "KBPS" (KILOBITS PER SECOND).
FOR EXAMPLE : "128 KBPS": THE HIGHER THIS NUMBER, THE BIGGER THE MP3 FILE
SIZE (THE BETTER THE SOUND QUALITY) AND THE LOWER THE RECORDING TIME
ON A CD-R. NORMALLY BASED ON 128 KBPS, YOU SHOULD HAVE APPROX. 250-300
MINUTES OF RECORDING TIME ON A CD-R.
- MP3 SONGS CAN BE RECORDED WITH SOME "TEXT INFORMATION" AS PART OF THE
SAME FILE. IT CONSISTS OF (AMONG OTHER DETAILS:)
- FILE NAME (SONG NAME)
- ARTIST NAME
- THERE ARE BASICALLY 2 WAYS TO MAKE AN MP3-CD WITH YOUR FAVORITE
SONGS :
- DOWNLOAD MP3 SONGS FROM INTERNET & BURN THEM ON A
CD-R DISC ON YOUR COMPUTER.
- CONVERT CD-AUDIO FILES (FROM A NORMAL MUSIC CD) ONTO
YOUR COMPUTER INTO MP3 FORMAT, USING A KIND
SOFTWARE CALLED "CD-RIPPER".
(WHICH IS FREEWARE/SHAREWARE ON INTERNET).
