One of the more obvious facts, however, concerns the small mp3 file size. Mp3s can be compressed to about one-tenth the original size, which allows for more data, in the form of good quality audio, to be saved onto a medium. The small size was a major factor in the rising popularity of this format.

The other factor, and one of the more visible mp3 player facts, is the size of the player itself. The first portable mp3 players, years ago, were heavy and bulky, while merely being able to store about six to ten songs. Nowadays, you can get flash-memory players with a storage of up to 32 GB, that fit comfortably in any pocket.

It's been over a decade since the first mass-produced mp3 players were sold. Today, around 70% of Americans between the ages of 18 and 29 own at least one, approximately half of them owning the most popular brand, the iPod.
