Beginners mp3 music help

Mp3s have been showing up everywhere in this new computer age.

Newspapers, Radio Shack ads and Web sites.

Some commons questions pertaining to these may include the following:

-What is a mp3 anyway?
-How do I play my mp3s?
-How do I get them?

What is a mp3 anyway?

Mp3, standing for "Motion Picture Experts Group 1 Layer 3", is a special way of compressing a multimedia file without losing quality of sound. By using this form of compression, the original size of the file is decreased greatly, making it possible to have hundreds of mp3s without an unusually large hard disk. Listening to a 45 megabyte Wav as opposed to a 4.5 Megabyte mp3 is much nicer on your hard drive space. Considering that just about no one listens to just one song over and over again, a whole library of music isn't hard to do with a fast Internet connection and easy access to mp3s.

How do I play my mp3s?

Chances are, if you are new to the mp3 world, you haven't installed a player. Media Player comes with new versions of Windows, and QuickTime is included with the Mac, both of which, work in playing your desired mp3 file. If you want quality, however, I suggest taking your browser over to http://www.winamp.com and downloading the latest version of Winamp, which is what a vast majority of people use.

How do I get mp3s?

Getting mp3s isn't a complicated process, although sometimes finding a particular song can be. For the most part, one of the best ways to find one is to use a mp3 search engine. Some of the following are recommended search engines. http://mp3.box.sk and http://www.audiofind.com. These will work for some types, but if you are in dire need of something special, the search engine like software from Napster usually has exactly what you are looking for. Napster software can be found at http://www.napster.com.

In closing, if you haven't gotten enough of the mp3 world, amazon.com offers great books that will guide you through all the technical aspects of mp3s.
