| Description | MP2 (sometimes incorrectly called MUSICAM) is a lossy audio compression format. While MP3 is much more popular for PC and Internet applications, MP2 remains a dominant standard for audio broadcasting. The format is supported only by some audio players, so you may need to convert it to a more popular one like MP3. | MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 Audio Layer III, more commonly referred to as MP3, is an audio coding format for digital audio which uses a form of lossy data compression. It is a common audio format for consumer audio streaming or storage, as well as a de facto standard of digital audio compression for the transfer and playback of music on most digital audio players. |
| Technical details | The use of lossy compression is designed to greatly reduce the amount of data required to represent the audio recording and still sound like a faithful reproduction of the original uncompressed audio. An MP3 file that is created using the setting of 128 kbit/s will result in a file that is about 1/11 the size of the CD file created from the original audio source. | |
