GENERAL NOTES ON MP3/WMA CDs
AUDIO / VIDEO
WHAT IS THE MP3/WMA FILE FORMAT?
MP3 is the abbreviation of MPEG-1 Audio La
yer 3 and MPG is the abbreviation of Motion Pictures Experts Group, a digital video data compression standard used on mediasuch as video CDs.
The MP3 compression reduces the number o
f bytes in a song by
eliminating the long sound waves in the range of frequencies whichare imperceptible to the human ear, so producing high quality audio
fi les with a low volume of data.
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 recorded onto a single CD-R or CD-RW.
WMA is the abbreviation o
f Windows Media Audio, another audio
data compression standard offered by Microsoft.
It can be used to create and save audio
fi les at a compression rate
higher than that of the MP3 format.
