MP3 and WMA files

MP3 (MPEG Audio LAYER 3) is a standard audio compression format.

Files can be compressed to approximately 1/10 of their original size using MP3

compression.

WMA (Windows Media Audio) is a Microsoft audio compression format. This for-

mat compresses audio data to a size smaller than that of the MP3 format.

There is a limit to the MP3 and WMA file standards that can be used and to the

media/formats on which the files are recorded.
