audio files compressed from 4 to 70 times with respect to the original, 16
Bit, 44.1 KHz CD quality ones. Compression is achieved by withdrawing
details that are more or less hardly perceivable, then efficiently coding
the remaining information. Audio quality depends on the compression ratio
(more compression means worse quality), on the encoder quality, finally on
the kind of music. It doesn't instead depend on the decoder.
to be able to listen at these files, you need a mp3 decoder (a software in
your computer) or a mp3 player (a sort of walkman by which you can listen
mp3 files when walking around).
