The History of The MP3 Player

What is MP3

MPEG Audio Layer III otherwise known as MP3 is the today's standard audio compression used in by almost everyone on the planet. It compresses audio into a much smaller file size without losing much of the quality.

The MP3 history begins in 1987 where The Fraunhofer Institut in Germany did research on the project 'Eureka'

By April 1989 Frauhorfer patented MP3 and from 1992 through to 1996 the MP3 compression evolved to what we use today.

MP3 Players (Software)

MP3 players started popping up during the early 1990's. With many MP3 players being made the all failed until 1997 when Tomislav Uzlec of Advanced Multimedia Products, a developer, invented the AMP MP3 Playback Engine. Then two university students by the name of Justin Frankel and Dmitry Boldyrev took what Uzlec invented and ported it to a windows based system and this is how Winamp was born. During 1998 the first free MP3 software player was distributed on the internet with no fee and still today is a 100% free MP3 player.
