The audio files on the Bible Study CDs are stored in MPEG-1 Audio Layer-3 format
(MP3). MP3 is a popular audio compression method specified by
the Motion Picture Experts Group.
One of the advantages of MP3 is the availability of portable MP3 players or
iPods. These players allow you to listen to MP3 audio anywhere
you go. Following are some examples where you could use your MP3
player to listen to Study CDs.
- Plug your
MP3 player into the tape player of your automobile and listen
to Study CDs as you drive. Some MP3 players come with an adapter
that you can plug into your tape player. A tape adapter can
be purchased if not included with the MP3 player.
- Connect the
MP3 player to your home stereo and listen from the comfort of
your living room.
- Bring the
MP3 player with you as you exercise.

The audio quality of MP3 files is excellent. It is difficult to distinguish
the difference between the original file and the MP3 encoded file,
even though the size of MP3 audio file can be a fraction of the
original. To hear a sample MP3 file, click
