MP3/WMA
What is MP3?
MP3 is an audio compression method and
classified into audio layer 3 of MPEG standards.
This audio compression method has penetrated
into PC users and become a standard format.
This MP3 features the original audio data
compression to about 10 percent of its initial
size with a high sound quality. This means that
about 10 music CDs can be recorded on a CD-
R disc or CD-RW disc to allow a long listening
time without having to change CDs.

Audio, an audio file format developed by
