Playback of an MP3 CD
MP3 CD features
MP3 stands for MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3 and arises from the Motion
Picture Expert Group (MPEG) Standard which was developed for
compressing film data.
The MP3 format enables audio files to be saved on a data carrier
with a sound quality similar to that of a CD. This only requires about
10% of the original data quantity. The standard encoding bit rate
for MP3 files is 128 kbps. Generally, the higher the bit rate of a an
MP3 file, the better the sound quality.
Most MP3 files on the Internet are encoded at 128 or 160 kbps.
160 kbps is considered CD quality.
MP3 CDs contain sound recordings. They can be played in the
normal manner on an audio system. The digital signals transmitted
during MP3 playback are PCM encoded, regardless of the audio
output setting. The signals are output with the same data rate
as the music source (possibilities are: 32 kbps – 320 kbps,
ideally: 128 kbps).
MP3 files can be organised into folders and subfolders, in a similar
way to files on a PC.
