MP3 - A digital audio encoding format. This encoding format is used to create an MP3 file, a way to store a single segment of audio, commonly a song, so that it can be organized or easily transferred between computers and other devices such as MP3 players. MP3 uses a lossly compression algorithm that is designed to greatly reduce the amount of data required to represent audio recordings, yet still sound like faithful reproductions of the original uncompressed audio to most listeners. An MP3 file is typically about 1/10th the size of the CD file created from the same audio source.

FTP - File Transfer Protocol is a network protocol used to transfer data from one computer to another through a network, such as over the Internet. FTP is a commonly used protocol for exchanging files over any TCP/IP based network to manipulate files on another computer on that network regardless of which operating systems are involved. There are many existing FTP client and server programs. FTP servers can be set up anywhere between voice servers, game servers, internet hosts, and other physical servers.

AIFF - Audio Interchange File Format is an audio file format standard used for storing sound data for personal computers and other electronic audio devices. The format was co-developed by Apple Computer based on Electronic Arts' Interchange File Format and is most commonly used on Apple Macintosh computer systems.

WAV - short for Waveform Audio Format, is a Microsoft and IBM audio file format standard for storing audio on PCs. It is a variant of the RIFF bitstream format method for storing data in “chunks”, and thus also close to the AIFF format used on Macintosh computers. It is the main format used on Windows systems for raw audio.

CD - A Compact Disc is an optical disc used to store digital data, originally developed for storing digital audio. The CD remains the standard playback medium for commercial audio recordings to the present day. Standard CDs have a diameter of 120 mm and can hold up to 80 minutes of audio. There are also 80 mm discs, sometimes used for CD singles, which can store up to 24 minutes of audio.
