MP3 File Type

The MP3 file extension stands for MPEG-3 Audio Layer 3. MP3 is a type of compressed digital audio file format that can be played on many different types of media players and other devices that support audio playback. The MP3 audio format uses the MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 encoded audio, which is then encoded using a lossy compression technique to reduce the file size by 50–60% depending on the quality chosen and the encoder's settings. MP3 files usually have a bitrate between 128–320 kbps and average duration of 4-8 minutes per track.

Though the term “Opus” has been mentioned before, this file extension was introduced for the first time by Google at their I/O Conference 2017.
