MP3 is short for MPEG Layer 3, a file format that compresses standard audio tracks into much smaller sizes without significantly compromising sound quality.

MPEG (Moving Pictures Experts Group) is a standard for compressing sound and movie files into an attractive format for downloading--or even streaming--across the Internet. The MPEG-1 standard streams video and sound data at 150 kilobytes per second--the same rate as a single-speed CD-ROM drive--which it manages by taking key frames of video and filling only the areas that change between the frames. Unfortunately, MPEG-1 produces only adequate quality video, far below that of standard TV. MPEG-2 compression improves things dramatically. With MPEG-2, a properly compressed video can be shown at near-laserdisc clarity with a CD-quality stereo soundtrack. Modern video delivery mediums, such as digital satellite services and DVD, use MPEG-2.

DOLBY - When playing a CD, or even a tape, makes you feel like you're in a concert hall, or when a movie’s soundtrack transports you to a distant realm, think of Ray Dolby. "Dolby A" noise reduction, his 1965 invention, removed the background hiss that hampered tape-recorded sound without hurting its quality. This led to high-quality, multitrack recording that forever changed the music industry. Next came "Dolby B" technology for home audio, which was licensed to makers of stereo equipment worldwide. Dolby then transformed movie theater sound from low-quality mono to vibrant 4-channel stereo. (Read more about Dolby)
