MP Player Sounds

Sound is one of the many motivators of our day, whether it’s that song that powers you through an extra rep at the gym or that podcast you like to unwind to after a long day at work. As sound has continued to evolve, so have digital file formats. Although it isn’t the only file format, the term MP3 has become synonymous with digital music in the same way that Google has with a web search — not surprising, given that the file format is now more than 20 years old. In that time, it has been surpassed by other file formats, one of which is MP4. But even though the increase from 3 to 4 in the name suggests that an MP4 is simply the next generation of MP3, there’s more to it than that.
