"MP3 stands for MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3 and is the most popular form of audio compression on the internet to listen to downloaded audio files because of their extremely small size compared to the standard .WAV audio format, which is approximately 10 times larger than your standard MP3 file rated at 128 bits per second(we'll get to that) with equivalent sound quality, which is why this form of audio compression is so widely implemented, as it allows the user to download his favorite audio tracks from the internet and store up to 10 hours of music on one CD-R/RW, provided that his CD player supports MP3 files, which is becoming a growing trend in the portable, car, and home entertainment industry, albeit a more expensive solution considering that some home and car players implement laptop or a standard IDE harddrive to store MP3s."
