Is it time to get MP3?
Your computer has been playing music for years, one CD at a time. Now hundreds of songs can be stored
in your PC if they're in the MP3 format (格式).

What is it?
MP3 compressed (压缩) music into small computer files. You may download MP3 music several ways:
Music can be downloaded from websites that have turned wide music libraries into MP3. Once MP3 music
is on your PC s hard drive, you can play it through your computer's speakers, "burn" it onto blank CDs or
swap (交换) MP3 files with friends using e -mail.

How much?
Software needed to play and turn MP3 music is often free. Compact portable MP3 players start at
around $ 40 and can hold hundreds of songs. A blank CD on which you can record music costs about a
dollar.

Advantages (优点)
MP3 turns your home PC into a jukebox (自动唱机). Small MP3 players are the size of a deck of cards,
making it easy to take hundreds of songs with you.

You may find that some websites only allow you to listen but you can't download music. Others let you
download music but can't be copied to MP3 players. And a growing number of new CDs make it impossible
to copy songs to a computer.
