- Description
- MPEG-1 Audio Layer I, commonly abbreviated to MP1, is one of three audio formats included in the MPEG-1 standard. It is a deliberately simplified version of MPEG-1 Audio Layer II (MP2), created for applications where lower compression efficiency could be tolerated in return for a less complex algorithm that could be executed with simpler hardware requirements. While supported by most media players, the codec is considered largely obsolete, and replaced by MP2 or MP3.
- Audio file ripped from a CD formatted using the CD Digital Audio specification; can be extracted using applications such as iTunes or Logic Pro; used for saving CD audio data to a computer, as well as burning new CDs.
