MP3 is a compressed file format which stores audio information in such
a way that the file size is small enough for slow data transfers e.g. from
the internet. Roughly one minute of music is equal to 1MB of audio data
(at 128 kbps encoding) so a typical four-minute song is around 4 MB
and takes about 10-15 minutes to download at 56K Internet connection.
