WHAT IS MP3 ?

- MP3 (MPEG 2, LAYER 3) IS A DIGITAL FILE FORMAT FOR AUDIO (MUSIC).

- YOU CAN DOWNLOAD MP3 SONGS FROM MANY WEBSITES ON THE INTERNET (PLEASE OBSERVE THE COPYRIGHT REGULATIONS OF YOUR COUNTRY).

- MP3 SONGS ARE MUCH SMALLER IS MEMORY SIZE COMPARED WITH NORMAL CD-AUDIO FORMAT SONGS. THIS IS CALLED “COMPRESSION” & IT ALLOWS MUCH MORE RECORDING TIME ON A STANDARD CD THAN THE NORMAL 74 MINUTES (FOR NORMAL CD-AUDIO).

- THE EXACT LENGTH OF RECORDING TIME DEPENDS ON THE “COMPRESSION RATE” OF THE MP3 SONG YOU HAVE DOWNLOADED.

- COMPRESSION RATE IS SPECIFIED IN “KBPS” (KILOBITS PER SECOND). FOR EXAMPLE : “128 KBPS”: THE HIGHER THIS NUMBER, THE BIGGER THE MP3 FILE SIZE (THE BETTER THE SOUND QUALITY) AND THE LOWER THE RECORDING TIME ON A CD-R. NORMALLY BASED ON 128 KBPS, YOU SHOULD HAVE APPROX. 250-300 MINUTES OF RECORDING TIME ON A CD-R.

- MP3 SONGS CAN BE RECORDED WITH SOME “TEXT INFORMATION” AS PART OF THE SAME FILE. IT CONSISTS OF (AMONG OTHER DETAILS:)

- FILE NAME (SONG NAME)

- ARTIST NAME

- YOUR CD-MP3 PLAYER CAN LOCATE (“FIND”) A SONG ON AN MP3-CD DISC FROM THE "FILE NAME", THEREFORE YOU SHOULD TRY TO NAME ALL YOUR MP3 FILES WITH THE ACTUAL NAME OF THE SONG THAT IT CONTAINS.

- THERE ARE BASICALLY 2 WAYS TO MAKE AN MP3-CD WITH YOUR FAVORITE SONGS :

- DOWNLOAD MP3 SONGS FROM INTERNET & BURN THEM ON A CD-R DISC ON YOUR COMPUTER.

- CONVERT CD-AUDIO FILES (FROM A NORMAL MUSIC CD) ONTO YOUR COMPUTER INTO MP3 FORMAT, USING A KIND SOFTWARE CALLED “CD-RIPPER”. (WHICH IS FREEWARE/SHAREWARE ON INTERNET).
