MPEG-1
Audio Layer 3, more commonly referred to as
MP3, is a popular digital audio encoding, lossy
compression format, and algorithm, designed
to greatly reduce the amount of data required
to represent audio, yet still sound like a faithful
reproduction of the original uncompressed audio
to most listeners. It was invented by a team
of German engineers of the Fraunhofer Society,
who worked in the framework of the EUREKA 147
DAB digital radio research program, and it became
an ISO/IEC standard in 1991.
