Introduction
Since the beginning of the technological revolution which started with the birth of the computer, there have been countless advancements in almost every walk of life. From medicine, to sports, to entertainment and even business, the computer has influenced the advancements in these and many other sectors by speeding up the tasks that required hours to do or perform tasks that were nearly incapable by the human mind alone. One of the advancements caused by the invention of the computer is the advancement in the music industry and music in general. Nowadays, it is even possible to create music without having the perfect voice. Voice synthesizers are capable of filling in the gap that vocalists now sometimes have in their voices. The same is the case with listening to music.
History
In the olden days, the only way to listen to music was on the gramophone or large turntables. These instruments of entertainment were of large sizes with fairly good audio quality. This changed slowly after the introduction of magnetic tapes to store data. This storage of data was primarily for the purpose of storing large amounts of data of the super computer those days but eventually smaller versions of the magnetic tapes originated and were used for data storage of smaller devices. The cassette tape was one of them. The cassette tape used a standard magnetic tape to store the musical notes of a song and could be played by a cassette tape recorder or even portable cassette players. Next came the phase of the computerized compact discs. These were used by computers initially but since everything started coming in portable sizes, the CD players started showing up everywhere. These CD players contained files in special format that is still used today. Music mp3 is the current mode of music and songs. Many players in different sizes are available that run music mp3. Music mp3 is one of the things that will stay for a long time since it is an electronic way of storage and thus requires no physical space and any sort of music mp3 files are of such small sizes compared to the storage available.
Features
There are different variations of music mp3 formats. These formats differ in quality of the audio. The difference is the size of these formats available. They may contain data of the same song but can vary to sizes from 5 megabytes up to 20 megabytes. The frequency of recording these files affects the size on which the music mp3 file is saved. Because of the small size of the music mp3 and the rapid growth of internet music, an mp3 can be downloaded off the internet onto ones own computer as well as the countless types of portable mp3 players.
Tips and comments
When downloading these music mp3 files, one must ensure not to download pirated versions of those music mp3 songs. Not only is it illegal to download these songs this way but also it affects the musicians who create these files and rely on these songs as their sole source of income.
