WHAT IS AN MP3?
The most common digital music format is the MP3, and this is often used as the catch-all term for all music downloads. In fact, Microsoft has a Windows-specific version called WMA (Windows Media Audio) and Apple's own version is called AAC (Advanced Audio Coding). But they all do the same thing - compress music into small digital files so that they can be easily downloaded. Other types of file include AVI, QuickTime, MPEG, WAV and exe.
