MP3 Player Technology
Term MP3 usually refers to MPEG -1 Audio Layer 3 standards. It is an encoding format for digital audio. It has over a period of time become most acceptable audio format being used with audio storage. It became de facto standard for compression of digital audio data. This audio data primarily music then can used to play back on a Digital Audio Player. Designed by MPEG (Moving Picture Experts Group) is an audio specific format and is also approved by ISO; the international Standard Organization. The format is designed to reduce the digital data in such a way that when played back reproduce the audio data say music faithfully which is nearly undistinguishable with the music when played in original uncompressed format.
MP3 Philosophy
An MP3 music file can be generated at high or low bit rates (than 128 Kbps). Encoding with higher rate shall result in better quality in respect of its reproduction as original like music when played back. The quality however reduces as the encoding rate reduces. The data compression is done in such way that the absence or inaccuracies generated due to conversion or compression (particularly pertains to certain frequencies of audio file) which cannot be deciphered by the human hearing in general. It means that basically the compression of data is achieved by reducing or ignoring the frequency components which are less audible and not very sensitive to the human ear.
Features of Samsung MP3 Players
Samsung is leading company in MP3 Player market. MP3 is a multimedia device which incorporates various functions and features with excellent sound output which may include music, video, FM radio and storage for portable files in a nice compact case. It also comes with high resolution screen of different size with options of different aspect ratio for stable and smooth video viewing.
Players with stereo sound output power of few hundred mW to 1000mW capable of producing thrill in a room, with nice ear phone for high quality hearing are available with the Samsung MP3 player product range. Apart from supporting MP3 format, Samsung players also supports AAC, WMA file formats.
With Samsung players, image files in JPEG and video files in MPEG4 format can be stored for its leisure viewing while on move or otherwise. E-books an order of the day can also be stored and read through the Samsung players.
Multiple Bluetooth connectivity feature provide excellent provision for wireless steaming audio to multiple headsets. Samsung YP- S2, YP-S3, YP-S5, YP-T10, YP-U4 are few models of players available in the market with these features.
Price of the player varies, apart from other factors, with the memory capacity of the player. However, with the passage of time cost of memory element is continuously decreasing and compression and encoding technology is evolving very fast. This has enabled reduction in cost of storage of per MB data in the player. The portability factor of the player in augmentation of reducing cost of memory allowed addition of memory hungry features such as e-book reader, high quality video, games etc.
