An outdated but still very popular lossy audio codec.
Shorthand for MPEG-1 Layer 3.
Notorious for its totally gross quality at low bitrates (128 and below). Usually considered good enough when created by a good modern encoder (LAME) with VBR quality 0-3, that's usually 160..320 kbps. Although people with the most sensible ears say that its model is designed in such a way that some sounds will be thrown away or distorted even at maximum bitrate.
Nowadays there are lossy codecs which are more efficient and superior to MP3 in all ways: Opus, Vorbis, AAC, Musepack are the most widely known of them.

The term MP3 Playa was coined by Sir Louis Gallahad of Coolington (of Playa Phi Playa Podcast fame). First used in the "Digital Love and Computer Game for MP3 Playas" podcast. The brilliant trendsetter affectionately refers to members and listeners of the podcast as "MP3 Playas"... NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH MP3 PLAYER (the media device). See definition for playa phi playa. Also see definition of playa.
This podcast is for all the MP3 Playas out there! It's digital love and computer game for MP3 Playas, y'all.
