What is MP3?
MP3, whose official name is “MPEG Audio Layer 3”, is a
compression standard prescribed by the ISO, the
International Standardization Organization and MPEG
which is a joint activity institution of the IEC.
MP3 files contain compressed audio data. MP3 encoding
is capable of compressing the audio data at extremely
high ratios shrinking music files by 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.
•
Method for creating MP3 files
The software used to create MP3 files is widely sold or
free from various sources. For details on creating MP3

The MP3 files that can be played back by this device
have the file extension “mp3”. Files with no extension can
not be played back.
