Description | MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 Audio Layer III, more commonly referred to as MP3, is an audio coding format for digital audio that uses lossy data compression. It is a common audio format for consumer audio streaming or storage and a de facto standard of digital audio compression for the transfer and playback of music on most digital audio players. | M4R - is a digital multimedia container format used to store audio in mono channel mode. For example, the Apple iPhone uses MPEG-4 audio files (with .m4r extension) for its ringtones. The length of the m4r ringtone should not exceed 40 seconds. M4R and M4A formats shares many similar features. |
Technical details | Lossy compression is designed to reduce significantly the amount of data required to represent the audio recording and still sound like a faithful reproduction of the original uncompressed audio. For example, an MP3 file created using the setting of 128 kbit/s will result in a file about 1/11 the size of the CD file created from the original audio source. | |
