An MP3 is simply a computer file that stores music in a particular format. Technically speaking, MP3 file format uses lossy compression, which means that the file keeps as much of the original music information as possible while greatly reducing the size of the file needed to store the music. On Rhapsody , each song from each artist is stored and downloaded as a single MP3 file. A typical MP3 file is usally a few megabytes in size. For more information about the MP3 format, see the Wikipedia article here.
