The computer - The MP3 format was of course originally developed to be played via a MP3 player software program in a personal computer. Developed by MEPG (Moving Picture Expert Group - http://www.mpeg.org/MPEG/index.html) to compress large WAV files to smaller, manageable size files that can be easily transferred over the Internet, yet preserving the original quality.
MP3 portable player - To take your MP3 files beyond your computer the portable MP3 player was developed. This was the first device among a range of other devices created to access MP3 files. The MP3 portable players use solid memory to store files, which means no moving parts offering better reliability and no skipping of music.
