Pros:
Supporters say MP3s help independent musicians to get radio play, tour dates, or national distribution. MP3 allows low-budget musicians to get high-quality music directly to a huge audience.

 What is MP3?
MPEG Layer 3, known as MP3, is a digital audio format for quick-downloading files that sound almost as good as CDs. With an MP3 player, you can listen to free or very cheap music downloaded from the Web. With a ripper and an encoder, you can create your own MP3 files from CDs that you own. Then you can transfer the MP3 files into a portable player and take the music with you anywhere you go.
  

 

 

 

Cons:
The recording industry says MP3s encourage copyright violations. The artists receive no money and servers with illegal MP3 files are violating copyright laws.
