'''MP3''' (short for '''MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3''') is a set of audio decoding and encoding [[algorithm]]s created by Fraunhofer IIS in Germany, which can achieve high compression ratio with little loss in audio quality.
Although newer [[codec]]s can offer higher compression ratio or higher audio quality for a given ratio, MP3 has remained popular due to its near-universal compatibility.
[[Microsoft]] [[Windows]] Media Player 11 comes with ''Fraunhofer MP3 codec professional'' that allows encoding bitrate of up to 320Kbit, it is disabled by default, and can only be enabled by entering the following keys into the Windows registry:
<blockquote>
:[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Drivers32]
:"msacm.l3acm"="l3codecp.acm"
:"msacm.l3codec"="l3codecp.acm"
:[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\drivers.desc]
:"l3codecp.acm"="Fraunhofer IIS MPEG Layer-3 Codec (professional)"
</blockquote>
