About MP3
When was MP3 created?
It was created in 1993 by the Fraunhofer Institute in Germany. Development first began in the late 1980s, but the first actual official encoder was released to the public in 1994.
What codecs does MP3 support?
It uses one main audio codec called MPEG Audio Layer III. It comes in two versions, MPEG-1 Layer III for higher quality sound and MPEG-2 Layer III for lower quality or smaller files.
Fun Facts About MP3
– The very first MP3 file ever encoded was Suzanne Vega’s “Tom’s Diner”. Vega often referred to as “the mother of the MP3.”
– There was once an official MP3 licensing fee. However the patents expired worldwide in 2017, subsequently making the MP3 format completely free to use.
