The MP3 format enables audio files to be saved on a computer with a sound quality similar to that of a CD. The standard encoding bit rate for MP3 files is 128 kbps. Generally, the higher the bit rate of a an MP3 file, the better the sound quality. Most MP3 files on the Internet are encoded at 128 or 160 kbps. MP3 files can be downloaded from the Internet and then burned onto a CDROM disc. Your DVD player can read the ID3 tag from the file header, which contains information on title and artist, and display this in the info menu/status display. They can be played in the normal manner on an audio system.
