  MP3 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3, more commonly referred to as MP3, is a popular digital audio encoding and lossy compression format, designed to greatly reduce the amount of data required to represent audio, yet still sound like a faithful reproduction of the original uncompressed audio to most listeners.
This is followed by a bit indicating that this is the MPEG standard and two bits that indicate that layer 3 is being used, hence MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3 or MP3.
The differences between the layers are caused by the different psychoacoustic models used by them; the Layer 1 algorithm is typically substantially simpler, therefore a higher bit rate is needed for transparent encoding.

 MPEG1 Layer 3 - Hydrogenaudio Knowledgebase
Layer 3 compensates for some of the filter bank deficiencies by processing the filter bank output with a Modified Discrete Cosine Transform (MDCT).
For the Layer III algorithm, time-aligning the psychoacoustic model with the filterbank demands that the data fed to the model be delayed by 768 samples.
SMR is calculated as a ratio of signal energy within the subband (for Layers I and II) or a group of subbands (Layer III) to the minimum threshold for that subband.

 STMicroelectronics | STA013 MPEG 2.5 LAYER III (MP3) SOURCE DECODER
In Layer I and II, a filter bank creates 32 subbands representation of the input audio stream, which are then quantized and coded under control of the psychoacoustic model from which a blockwise adaptive bit allocation is derived.
Layer I is a simplified version of the MUSICAM coding scheme, most appropriate for consumer applications, where the very low bitrate is not mandatory.
Layer III uses a short-term buffer to help the system cope with the short term difference in the bit rate demand.

 MP3' Tech - Frame header
In the case of Layer I or Layer II, frames are some totally independent items, so you can cut any part of MPEG file and play it correctly.
For Layer I slot is 32 bits long, for Layer II and Layer III slot is 8 bits long.
For Layer III these two bits determine which type of joint stereo is used (intensity stereo or m/s stereo).

 ::What is .mp3?::   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
MP3 is the shortened name for MPEG-1 Layer III (or MPEG Audio Layer III) and is an audio subset of the MPEG industry standard developed by ISO (the Industry Standards Organization) and became an official standard in 1992 as part of the MPEG-1 standard.
MPEG-1 Layer III is an audio only compression component and is a direct descendant from MPEG-1 which is low-bandwidth video compression, the type that is used over the internet and MPEG-2 which is a high-bandwidth audio and video compression which is the standard for DVD technology.
MPEG (pronounced M-peg), which stands for Moving Picture Experts Group, is the name of family of standards used for coding audio-visual information (e.g., movies, video, music) in a digital compressed format.

 MP3 File Format Specification
Due to internal data organization in MPEG Layer III files, frames are often dependent of each other and they cannot be cut off just like that.
Variable bitrate MPEG files may use so called bitrate switching, which means that bitrate changes according to the content of each frame.
For Layer II there are some combinations of bitrate and mode which are not allowed.

 MPEG Audio
MPEG standards for digital audio cover encoding of audio, either by itself or as the audio component of a multimedia file or stream.
Layers I, II and III are backward compatible.
MPEG encoders rely on the resolution used in the uncompressed audio file to set the range of resolution that will be used for the encoded file.

 Fraunhofer IIS - Audio & Multimedia Realtime Systems - MP3: MPEG Audio Layer-3
MPEG in total received 14 proposals and encouraged the participants to merge their contributions, ending in four proposals which included ASPEC and MUSICAM.
After formal tests MPEG encouraged MUSICAM and ASPEC to merge to create a family of three coding schemes, where Layer I was a low complexity variant of MUSICAM, Layer II was a optimized version of MUSICAM and Layer III was based on ASPEC.
Layer 3 is a more efficient codec and leads to its widespread adoption as a way to store music on the relatively small hard disk drives of the era’s PCs and to transfer music files over the Internet through pokey 28.8kbps PC modems.

 Overview of MPEG-2 AAC Audio Coding
In response, the MPEG (Motion Pictures Experts Group) was formed, and since 1988 the group has been working on the standardization of high quality low bit rate audio coding.
Today almost all agree not only that audio bit rate reduction is effective and useful, but that the MPEG process has been successful at picking the best technology and encouraging compatibility across a wide variety of equipment.
Layer 3 (popularly known as MP3) implements a unique combination of methods to attain high compression ratios while preserving audio quality.

 Podcasting and MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 Layer III Audio
For those who are familiar with the internal format of MPEG (Moving Picture Experts Group) files, the specific file type, either MPEG-1 or MPEG-2, can be easily determined by examining the header information, located at the beginning of the MPEG file, in a hex editor program.
Using a recent Adam Curry DSC (Daily Source Code) podcast* as an example, upon examination we find that the file is an MPEG-2 Layer III file with a 22.05 kHz audio sampling rate, a datarate (bitrate) of 64 kbps, and is 2-channel stereo.
The notations II and III indicate, respectively, that the file format is MPEG-2 and the audio encoding is Layer III.

Its benefits to users are numerous, and include the ability to output compressed audio indistinguishable from source at 128kbps, and low-delay modes which provide fidelity comparable to MPEG Layer III at up to 30 percent faster on-the-fly encoding rates.
AAC is the newest audio coding method selected by MPEG and became an international standard in April 1997.
However, they also know that the delay of layer III can be frustrating, particularly if high fidelity is needed in both directions.

Lo standard di codifica dell'audio adottato dall'Mpeg si basa sul modello percettivo sopra descritto e si divide in tre modalità operative, conosciute come Mpeg-1 Layer I, Mpeg-1 Layer II e Mpeg-1 Layer III.
L’Mpeg-1 Layer III (Mp3) è invece utilizzato per applicazioni ove la banda passante è molto limitata e perciò il bitrate deve essere basso, anzi il più basso possibile.
Il Layer III prevede inoltre esplicitamente il supporto per il VBR (Variable Bit Rate), una tecnica grazie alla quale l'ampiezza di banda (o bitrate) non è più fissa per tutto il file, ma variabile a seconda dei blocchi.
