MP3 (formally MPEG-1 Audio Layer III or MPEG-2 Audio Layer III) is an audio coding format for digital audio.

Originally defined as the third audio format of the MPEG-1 standard, it was retained and further extended—defining additional bit rates and support for more audio channels—as the third audio format of the subsequent MPEG-2 standard.

A third version, known as MPEG 2.5—extended to better support lower bit rates—is commonly implemented, but is not a recognized standard.

In popular music, a cover version, cover song, or simply cover, is a new performance or recording by someone other than the original artist or composer of a previously recorded, commercially released song.

A compilation album comprises tracks, either previously released or unreleased, usually from several separate recordings by either one or several performers.

If by one artist, then generally the tracks were not originally intended for release together as a single work, but may be collected together as a greatest hits album or box set.

If from several performers, there may be a theme, topic, or genre which links the tracks, or they may have been intended for release as a single work—such as a tribute album.

When the tracks are by the same recording artist, the album may be referred to as a retrospective album or an anthology.

Compilation albums may employ traditional product bundling strategies.

A music download is the digital transfer of music via the Internet into a device capable of decoding and playing it, such as a home computer, MP3 player or smartphone.

This term encompasses both legal downloads and downloads of copyrighted material without permission or legal payment.

According to a Nielsen report, downloadable music accounted for 55.9% of all music sales in the US in 2012.

By the beginning of 2011, Apple's iTunes Store alone made 1.1 billion of revenue in the first quarter of its fiscal year.

Popular music is music with wide appeal that is typically distributed to large audiences through the music industry.

These forms and styles can be enjoyed and performed by people with little or no musical training.

It stands in contrast to both art music and traditional or "folk" music.

Art music was historically disseminated through the performances of written music, although since the beginning of the recording industry, it is also disseminated through recordings.

Traditional music forms such as early blues songs or hymns were passed along orally, or to smaller, local audiences.
