What is
MPA?
There are three "layers" in the MPEG-1
Audio specification.
In MPEG Audio Layer-1, a simple 32-subband audio compressor using a floating
point representation for subband samples. Resolution and scale factor are stored
for groups of 12 subsamples. MP1 is only used for Philips DCC Digital Compact
cassette with data rates of 384 kbps.
Both MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 files use MPEG-1
Audio Layer-2.
MPEG-1 Audio Layer-3 becomes
the widely popular MP3.
