MP3 (.MP3)
MIME: audio/mpeg · Kompressionstyp: lossy
MP3 is the world's most popular audio format. It uses lossy compression that removes barely audible sounds, making files up to 10× smaller than WAV at acceptable quality.
Compression type: Lossy — smaller files, but data is lost on each conversion.
