[quote][i]Originally posted by Paul_J[/i] Right a Mp3 is a Mpeg Layer 3... Basically its just a file type, same as Word has .docs and Webpages are .html... Its just a file name... e.g. Songname.mp3 As Big Plan said, its just compressed audio - so it takes up less space than normal .wav (audio files) - and thus you can fit more on a CD. If you have a MP3 Player then you can just save the mp3s onto CD and your head unit will play them... If like me you have a non Mp3 player but it recognises CD/RW cd's then I can copy the music I downloaded as a different file type onto my CD ... Down side is I can't store as many. Average mp3 sizes are like 3 - 4 mbs... a .wav will be 40-50 mb for the same amount of music. Since a CD is about 650 mb of storage - I can fit about 16 tracks on a CD when saving them normally. With MP3 I could probably fit closer to 160 tracks. That is the advantage. Basically to get the music, download something like Kazaa, then you simply do searches in kazaa for the songs you want. So say you want Sclub 7 reach for the sky... you just search 'S club 7 reach for the sky' It'll then come up with a list of results, you will notice some are different sizes, some have [+]'s next to them and some don't. The different sizes are because of the different quality levels, 128 bit is normal CD quality, so I usually get that. Then look for 1 with a [+] next to the name and click it to have a drop down list of how many people have that exact file. The more the better because you then have more people to download it off. Once you've found the file you want that lots of people have, double click it and it'll begin to download. You can preview while downloading, so you can hear if its the track without downloading the whole lot. Once its downloaded, you can play it, edit it, chuck it on a CD. Whatever. Gee - Where were you when Napster was around? :D that was where most people got into mp3s... Basically Mp3 = Free music ... thats all you need to know :lol: Paul J [/quote]
