Definition

  • MP3 is a digital music-compression format that squeezes song files down to about one-tenth of their normal size. Smaller file sizes mean that MP3 users can download music from the Internet quickly, and there is almost no loss of sound quality. [Source: Encyclopedia of New Media; MP3]
