How to join/merge multiple audio files into one (2022)
A file with the MP3 extension is an MP3 audio file developed by the Moving Pictures Experts Group (MPEG). The abbreviation stands for MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 Audio Layer III.
An MP3 file is normally used to store music data, but there are plenty of free audiobooks that also come in this format. Due to its popularity, a variety of phones, tablets and even vehicles provide built-in support for playing MP3 files.
What sets MP3 files apart from some other audio file formats is that their data is compressed to reduce the file size to just a fraction of the formats that WAV uses. This technically means that the sound quality is reduced to achieve such a small size, but the trade-off is usually acceptable, which is why the format is so widely used.
