MP3 is the abbreviation of MPEG-1 Au-
dio Layer 3 and MPG is the abbrevia-
tion of Motion Pictures Experts Group, a
digital video data compression standard
used on media such as video CDs.
The MP3 compression reduces the
number of bytes in a song by eliminating
the long sound waves in the range of fre-
quencies which are imperceptible to the
human ear, so producing high quality au-
d i o fi l e s w i t h a l o w v o l u m e o f d a t a .
This compression divides the size of
the content of a conventional audio CD
by approximately 10, which means that
the content of 10 audio CDs can be re-
corded onto a single CD-R or CD-RW.
WMA is the abbreviation of Windows
Media Audio, another audio data com-
pression standard offered by Microsoft.
It can be used to create and save audio
