MP3’s have revolutionized the way music is being incorporated forever. It is more cost efficient for music producers and consumers alike. Instead of being forced to buy an album containing more than one of your favorites songs by a band, a consumer can simply use their paid for music download applications(or in some cases, free) and get exactly what they want at a fraction of the cost. Distributors remove the red tape of hard materials used to produce an album.
One great thing about music that is converted to the MP3 format and placed on Internet is the ability to find virtually anything a consumer may seek. An MP3 down-loader can instantly access live recordings of artists that they would not find in music stores, to acoustic or unreleased songs.
A big part of the MP3 movement is the fact that it has brought an incredible array of powerful tools to computers and given people a reason to learn how they work. Because of these tools, it is now extremely easy for consumers to:
Convert MP3 files into CD files and create your own audio CDs from MP3 files on the Web
Rip songs off of various music CDs and recombine them into your own custom CDs
Store hundreds of MP3 files on data CDs
Load MP3 files into tiny portable players and listen to them wherever you go

So far we have learned that an MP3 is not an exact replica of what a recording should sound like. This type of format is known as a, “lossy,” format. A, “lose less,” file is a file that does not hinder the audio file while a lossy file cuts things out to make them easier to access. There is not a specific format that MP3s follow when creating these lossy files. Files can be custom created to hold as much or as less data that one would feel is required. This is known as the, “bit,” rate, what the number of bits per second encoded in the MP3 file. The specific encoding software that someone uses to download an MP3 file gives options to how many bits per second the MP3 will be formatted in. The higher the bit rate is used while encoding the MP3 results in a higher quality sound recording, although this creates a larger file and takes up more space on an MP3 player, while a lower bit rate reduces the quality but creates more space on the MP3 player. Bits are rated on a scale between 96 to 320 kilobytes per second.
While radio play averages 128 kbps and the highest bit rate for an MP3 player is 320 kbps, some critics still speculate that an MP3 cannot mimic the supreme quality of a CD generated audio file. It is also argued that there is no way possible for the human ear to detect a difference in the sound quality of an audio file recorded on a MP3 player versus a CD. No matter how you look at it, bit rates are revolutionizing the phenomenon of average people being able to acquire music. Looks like this is all left on your ears!
