Blues Mp3's

You have heard about MP3.
You love the Blues.
You have a computer.
You have a sound card in that computer.
You are going to be a jammin' fool.

Sound and video files are huge. It takes a lot of data to re-create music, and even more to add video to that music. A song recorded in the uncompressed .wav format can use up 40-50 megs of hard drive space. The .Mp3 format can compresses that to about 4 megs without too much sound quality degradation. Thus, almost cd-quality music and video can be sent over the internet to users with simple-but-slow modem connections. You just simply go to a Web Site that features .mp3 files and download the song you want to your hard drive. Using a free .mp3 player, you can listen to the file and add it to a custom play list. Yes, you computer can be your new stereo.
