MP3 (MPEG layer 3) is a highly advanced compressed audio format. It offers a high compression ratio and broadcast quality audio. MP3 is not as effective for very high compression of voice (such as real audio). As such, mp3 is mainly used for music on the net. For higher quality voice transmission, where real time is not essential, mp3 is an ideal format.

Unfortunately, if you want a good mp3 encoder you need to pay for it. Shareware mp3 players are available:
