What are the advantages and disadvantages of trading MP3 files?
MP3 files are small enough to send over the Internet, so unlike trading CDs or other physical media, you don’t have to pay any postage. Also, as you are not sending anything physical, there is less of a problem with bad traders. However, MP3 files lower quality than the original CD source. Also, you probably can’t play MP3 files in your car stereo. While MP3 files are smaller than a lot of other audio files, they are still big (a typical song will usually be at least 4 megabytes). Downloading could take a long time on a slow Internet connection.
