Volume Control

There are just a few proposed standards for encoding to gain and MP3 file, listeners may want to hear the music file like an original soundtrack, but this does not conclude that they want to use volume control for each track being played, but notice the music played on an original compact disc, the volume was intentionally set by a professional mastering engineer, for each track has equal volume, compact discs & other different sources are digitally mastered and recorded at different volumes, so when playing tracks one after the another, it may be convienient to set volume information on the tag being used so when you play it again, the volume dynamically adjusts itself.

Audio File Format

A lot of people make the mistake of referring “mp3” with the audio player teenagers (and kids as well) have. Partly correct, but mp3 is not only limited to player. In fact, the reason why the mp3 player is called that way is because the files that the player can read are only those with mp3 file extensions.

MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3 is the longer name of mp3. Files with the “.mp3” format are compressed and so file sizes are smaller compared to the usual audio formats. A simple 3 minute song can reach 6MB if it’s in WMA format, however, it’ll only measure up to 3MB if it’s in mp3.

MP3 Audio Disc

My friend gave me a CD before and told me that that CD contained more than 100 songs. I was baffled because I never thought that storing 100 plus song inside an ordinary CD was possible. I was only aware of the Audio CDs sold in music stores that contained more or less 20 songs.

Then I knew the secret. For you to have more than 100 songs in your CD, you have to burn the files as “data” files and not “audio” files. Audio CDs (like the ones sold in stores) do have files that have different “add-ons” attached so you can pop it in your player and listen to it. Mp3 files, if burned as data files, are stored in the CD without added extensions.

The Difference between MP3 and MP4

As we all know, mp3 is a compressed type of audio file, but have you heard the file type “mp4”? It is a fact that both the mp3 and the mp4 are MPEGs but what are their differences?

The mp4 is a multimedia type of file format, meaning it is not only limited to audio files. If mp3s are audio files only, mp4s are for all types of media such as audio (only), video, images, games and so on and so forth. There are some mp4 players available in the market today that are small and handy, so you can watch your video clips anywhere you go.

MP3 in relation to Digital Audio

Changing the sounds waves, editing voices and transmission of audio file formats from source to the receiver are a few of the things that you can do with digital audio. Based on one of my reports in school (major subject), digital audio is the process wherein an ordinary audio file is converted to digital format.

The mp3 file format and other compressed formats are only a few of the examples of digital recording. Digital recording converts the sound file (of a movie for example) and changes or tweaks the different codecs etc. of the sound file. All file formats that are recorded and transferred to another source are also called digital recording.

Portability

Let’s take a look at the history of some of the most popular gadgets that invaded our generation: Walkman became the Discman, landline phones evolved to mobile phones and desktop computers evolved to laptops, which finally evolved to Pocket PCs. These are only a few of the things that have undergone a great deal of innovation.

Pocket gadgets have become a fad nowadays. Why is that so? In a fast-paced world where every second counts and all incoming pieces of information (like news feeds etc.) are vital, portable devices have secured a part in the lives of the busy bees.

Looking at it, MP4 units are more similar to iPods since they can both play audio and video files, store images, and lyrics of songs. The main feature of iPods that separate them from ordinary MP3 and MP4 is their capacity to store more data files. There is no need to reduce or reformat the sizes of the files. There is an enough memory for everything that even all the MP3 and MP4 file formats combined will still be saved in a single iPod.
