Historically patented, major patents have expired

MP3 (MPEG-1/2 Audio Layer III) is a lossy audio coding format designed to significantly reduce file size while preserving acceptable sound quality. It supports constant and variable bitrates (CBR/VBR), mono and stereo channels, and metadata via ID3 tags. MP3 has been a dominant format for music distribution, podcasts, and web audio for decades due to its broad device and software support.
