Format Details
MP3
MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer 3) is the world's most popular digital audio format, developed by the Moving Picture Experts Group in the early 1990s. It uses psychoacoustic lossy compression to dramatically reduce file sizes while retaining audio quality that is perceptually adequate for most listeners. MP3 transformed the music industry by making digital music portable enough to share over the internet and store on devices with limited storage.
AAC
AAC (Advanced Audio Coding) is a lossy audio compression format standardized by ISO/IEC and designed as a higher-quality successor to MP3. It achieves better audio fidelity than MP3 at the same bit rate by using more advanced psychoacoustic models and encoding techniques. AAC is the default audio format for iTunes, Apple Music, YouTube, and all iOS devices, and is supported natively across virtually every modern platform.
