Question

Why was the MP3 standard developed?

Answer 1

Answer)
MP3 is known as the MPEG-1 / MPEG-2 Audio Layer III which is the format for the digital audio, and also includes the audio and video encoded data. MP3 uses the audio compression technique and uses the lossy compression for encoding the audio data, which leads to the reduction in the file size rather than a huge file size for uncompressed audio.
MP3 compression is used to remove the components of the sound which are actually cannot be heard by the humans. The MP3 standard was developed for reducing the size of the audio file which can be easily stored and uploaded and downloaded using the Internet, and thus maintaining the audible quality of the audio file by compressing the file using lossy compression.
