The AudioFile: Understanding MP3 compression

For all of your audiophiles out there -- or even those of you who have asked "What the heck is MP3 - I know it's digital music buy why M-P-3?". This article covers psychoacoustics to Fast Fourier Transforms (FFT) to Napster :-). Incidentally, much of the theory behind the MP3 stems from the 1920's and 1950's - pretty cool. A really good read.
