MP3 converters

MP3 is the most widely supported audio format. It was developed at the Fraunhofer Institute in Germany and standardised in 1993, and it plays on every phone, computer, car stereo and website. MP3 makes music about a tenth of its CD size by leaving out sounds people hardly hear.

What to know about MP3

• 128 kbit/s is fine for speech and podcasts; 192–320 kbit/s is used for music.
• The last MP3 patents expired in 2017, so the format is free to use everywhere.
• Title, artist, album and cover art are stored in ID3 tags at the start of the file.
• MP3 is lossy: every new encode loses a little more, so convert from the original when you can.
