MP3 file format was founded by a working group named Moving Pictures Experts Group (MPEG). MP3 files are popularly used to distribute music on the Internet and compact discs.
MP3 files use compression algorithms to reduce the overall file size and make it very easy to share them. Contrary to many other file formats, the MP3 file compression is irreversible. While other files may take as much as 25 MB of storage space to store a 3-minute audio content, MP3 files can occupy as little as 4 MB of storage due to a higher level of compression.
Audio compression has its own drawbacks. The biggest drawback is the loss of audio quality that affects the audio quality to an extent. Although audio compression does play a role in downgrading the quality of the music, the decline in quality isn’t too big. On the other hand, the bit-rate also plays a decisive role regarding the audio quality of the file, with the bit-rate and audio quality directly linked to each other.
MP3 files are universally accepted and are supported by almost all media players and CD players. Due to their extreme popularity and utility, Microsoft Windows and Mac OS ensure MP3 files don’t require any additional codes and software to be installed to play these files.
