E00736400029
MP3 is the abbreviation of “MPEG-1 Audio
Layer 3”. MPEG is an abbreviation of “Mo-tion Picture Experts Group”, and this is a vid-
eo compression standard 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 be- yond the auditory resolution of the human ear
and that are hidden by louder sounds, thus
creating high-quality data with a lower data
size.
Because this can compress CD audio to ap- proximately 1/10 its original data size with-
out perceptible loss, approximately 10 CDs can be written to a single CD-R/RW disc.
CAUTIONl MP3 files different to the standards at right
may not play back correctly, or file/folder names may not be displayed correctly.
Standards for MP3 Files That
Can Be Played Back
Specifications for MP3 files that can be
played are as shown below.
