MP3 Makers Apps and Alternatives

MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3, much better known as MP3, is the most popular audio encoding format. Even though it features lossy compression, MP3s are by far the most common files for audio storage, transfer and playback.

The quality of these files depends heavily onto the compression bit rate: when the bit rate is high, so is the audio quality, but it also has larger size.

Obviously, due to this format's popularity, there are numerous applications that will create this type of files, that can subsequently be played on any device.

Besides converting tracks of other formats to MP3, users can also resort to audio recorders that allow them to save the stream to an external Mp3 track.
