MP3 is an abbreviation of “MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3”. MPEG is
an abbreviation of
“Motion Picture Experts
Group”, and this is a
video compression sta
ndard used in video
CDs, etc. MP3 is one of the audio compression meth-ods contained in the
MPEG audio standard,
and reduces the quality of sounds that are beyond the auditory resolution of the human ear and that are hidden by louder sounds, thus creating high-quality data with a lower datasize. Because this can compress CD audio to approximately 1/10 its original data size with-out perceptible loss, approximately 10 CDs can be written to a single CD-R/RW disc. Specifications for MP
3 files that can be
played are as below.
Maxi- mum file num- ber
