The name comes from MPEG _______. MPEG develops standards for audio and video compression. MP3 is actually MPEG Audio Layer 3.
MP3 competes with another audio file format called WAV. The key difference is _______. An MP3 file can store a minute of sound per megabyte, _______.
How does MP3 achieve this compression? CDs and audio files don’t reproduce every sound of a performance. Instead, they sample the performance and store a discrete code for each sampled note. A CD or WAV file may sample a song 44 000 times a second, _______.
By stripping out sounds most people can’t hear. MP3 significantly reduces the information stored, For instance, most people can’t hear notes above a frequency of 16kHz, so it eliminates them from the mix. Similarly, it eliminates quiet sounds masked by noise at the same frequency. The result is a file _______, but which is much smaller. An MP3 file can contain spoken word performances, such as radio shows or audio books, as well as music. It can provide information about itself in a coded block called a tag. The tag may include the performer’s name, a graphic such as an album cover, the song’s lyrics, the musical genre, and a URL for more details.
