- What
is MP3?
-
- MP3 is
basically a compressed audio file near CD
quality. Unfortunately you'll notice that the
- average
CD track takes up about 50 megabytes of space.
With the MP3 technlology it is possible
- to
shrink the file size about 90% from a CD, almost
without any loss in sound quality. An average
- soundtrack
would be some 4 MB in MP3-format. ( MP3 is short
for MPEG3, witch means Motion
- Pictures
Expert Group Layer 3. )
-
- How do
I play an MP3 file? You'll have to use an MP3
player. There are several players for you to
- choose
between and download in our software archive.
-
- Can I
make my own MP3's? Yes, but you'll need an MP3
encoder, read more about how to encode
- MP3
files at this page.
-
- Are
MP3's illegal? The answer is NO. It depends on
what the file contain. If you purchase a CD,
- encode
the soundtracks to MP3 and then post it on your
website, yes, it would be illegal. That has
- nothing
to do with the MP3 file format, but it would be a
violation of U.S. and international
- copyright
laws. In other words, if you make your own music
and want to share it with the world,
- you
are free to encode it to MP3 and post the files
on your website.
