WHAT IS AN MP3 PLAYER ?

              A device for
              playing MP3
              files.
HISTORY
Unsuccessful MP3 player developed
by Frauenhofer in the early 1990s.

WinPlay3 was the
first real-time MP3
audio player.
HISTORY
AMP MP3 Playback Engine - the first
successful MP3 player in 1997

Justin Frankel and Dmitry Boldyrev -
ported AMP to Windows and created
Winamp.
HISTORY

   In 1998, Winamp
   became a free
   MP3 music player
   boosting the
   success of MP3.
ORIGIN OF MP3 TECHNOLOGY
MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer III ) - standard
for audio compression that makes any
music file smaller.
MPEG, (Motion Pictures Expert
Group), standards for displaying video
and audio using lossy compression.
ORIGIN OF MP3 TECHNOLOGY
Fraunhofer-Gesellshaft – A German
Company that releases the license for
the music technology.
WHAT CAN MP3 DO ?
1 second – 1.400Mbit (CD quality)

In CD quality a 4min
song uses 40 MB, but
reduces to 4MB only
in MP3 format.
Other Formats
WMA     -    Windows Media Audio
WAV     -    Waveform Audio
MIDI    -    Music Instrument Digital
             Interface.
AAC      -   Advanced Audio Coding
Ogg Vorbis   A free, open and un-
             patented music format
Other Formats
ADPCM -     Adaptive Differential Pulse
            Code Modulation
ASF     -   Advanced Streaming
            Format
VQF     -   Vector Quantization Format
ATRAC   -   Sony's Adaptive Transform
            Acoustic Coding 3
PORTABLE PLAYERS
The first MP3 players (1998)
MPMan - introduced
by Eiger Labs. It has a
storage capacity of
32MB (about 10-20
songs) and sold for $69.
PORTABLE PLAYERS
The first MP3 players (1998)
RIO PMP300 –
Produced by Diamond
Multimedia and was
introduced on
September 15, 1998.
The Technology

MP3 players uses solid-state memory. It
has an embedded software application
that allows users to transfer MP3 files
to the player
The Technology – (Basic Parts)

•   Data port
•   Memory
•   Microprocessor
•   Digital signal processor (DSP)
•   Display
The Technology – (Basic Parts)

•   Playback controls
•   Audio port
•   Amplifier
•   Power supply
TYPES OF MP3 PLAYERS
4 BASIC TYPES OF MP3 PLAYERS

1. Flash Memory Players
   The smallest and
   lightest and typically
   stores fewer songs
   than hard drive
   players
4 BASIC TYPES OF MP3 PLAYERS

2. Hard Drive and Mini-hard Drive Players
   Larger and heavier
   than flash memory
   players and offer
   considerably more
   storage.
4 BASIC TYPES OF MP3 PLAYERS

3. MP3 CD and Mini-Disc MP3 Players
   These MP3 files are
   burned to CD-R/RW
   discs from your old
   CD collection and
   used in the MP3 CD
   player
4 BASIC TYPES OF MP3 PLAYERS

4. Hybrid Players
   MP3 is no longer just a
   stand-alone technology.
   Companies are now
   offering MP3 capability
   in other consumer
   products

Editor's Notes

  1. An MP3 player is a device for playing MP3 files.The MP3 player is the most recent in an evolution of music formats that have helped consumers enjoy their tunes. Records, 8-track tapes, cassette tapes and CDs -- none of these earlier music formats provide the convenience and control that MP3 players deliver. With an MP3 player in hand or pocket, a consumer can create personalized music lists and carry thousands of songs whereverthey go.
  2. In the early 1990s, Frauenhofer developed the first, however, unsuccessful MP3 player.WinPlay3 was the first real-time MP3 audio player for PCs running Windows. It was released by Fraunhofer IIS ("Institute for Integrated Circuits"), creators of the MP3 format, on 1995
  3. In 1997, Advanced Multimedia Products invented the AMP MP3 Playback Engine, the first successful MP3 player. Two university students, Justin Frankel and Dmitry Boldyrev ported AMP to Windows and created Winamp.
  4. In 1998, Winamp became a free MP3 music player boosting the success of MP3. Until the release of Winamp in 1997, WinPlay3 was the sole option for playing MP3-compressed music on Microsoft Windows.
  5. MP3 stands for MPEG Audio Layer III and it is a standard for audio compression that makes any music file smaller with little or no loss of sound quality. MP3 is part of MPEG, (Motion Pictures Expert Group), a family of standards for displaying video and audio using lossy compression.
  6. However it is the German company Fraunhofer-Gesellshaft that releases the license for the music technology.
  7. Without Data reduction, one second will end up to 1.400 Mbit of stereo music in CD quality. A WAV consisting of a few seconds of sound would be several megabytes in size. By using MPEG audio coding, you may shrink down the original sound data from a CD by a factor of 12, without losing sound quality.
  8. Although MP3 is perhaps the most well-known file format, there are other file formats that can be played on MP3 players like WMA, WAV, MIDI, AAC, OggVorbis
  9. ADPCM, ASF, VQF, and ATRAC
  10. As mp3 became very popular, companies started making portable players. These devices would change the history of the mp3 player. One of the first was MPMan, released in 1998 in South Korea.
  11. This was followed by the Rio PMP300. In 1999 Compaq created the PJB 100, which could store over 1,200 songs.
  12. MP3 players use solid-state memory. An MP3 player is no more than a data-storage device with an embedded software application that allows users to transfer MP3 files to the player.
  13. Specific components may vary, but here are the basic parts of a typical MP3 player:Data port, Memory, Microprocessor, Digital signal processor (DSP), Display, Playback controls, Audio port, Amplifier, Power supply
  14. Specific components may vary, but here are the basic parts of a typical MP3 player:Data port, Memory, Microprocessor, Digital signal processor (DSP), Display, Playback controls, Audio port, Amplifier, Power supply
  15. This is how the mp3 player works
  16. MP3 players are as varied as the people who buy them. Choice is based on several factors, including how you plan to use it, the amount of music you want to carry in your MP3 player and how much you are prepared to pay. Let's take a look at the four basic types of MP3 players.
  17. The flash memory MP3 player is the smallest and lightest and typically stores fewer songs than hard drive players. Because it's small and contains no moving parts, it's ideal for exercisers. And with some models boasting up to 8 GB of storage (2,000 songs) and other models offering video and photo capability, it also appeals to the multimedia aficionado. Its batteries can last up to 28 hours.
  18. It can store up to 20,000 songs, photographs, data, and video and allow podcast recording. However, these features and the hard drive consume more power, with some batteries lasting eight to 20 hours for music playback and up to six hours for video playback.
  19. There is a breed of CD players available that plays MP3 and other digital files. These MP3 files are burned to CD-R/RW discs from your old CD collection and used in the MP3 CD player. A CD can hold about 10 hours of music.
  20. MP3 is no longer just a stand-alone technology. Technology companies are now offering MP3 capability in other consumer products, including satellite radios, personal digital assistants, DVD players, sunglasses, swim goggles and even a combination Swiss Army Knife-MP3 player.
  21. Around 2003 mp3 players and cell phones were combined for the first time. It was also around the time that artists started selling music as mp3 downloads. Eventually this would start a trend that continues to this day. The history of the mp3 player is an exciting one and it continues to evolve. The technology is advancing, improving the quality of the sound even more.
