MP3 used MPEG-1 (Moving Pictures Experts Group) Layer III audio codec standard. Its compression ratio can be 1:10~1:12. As its high compression ratio and low Distortion
the on time decoding algorithm is more complex. Based on 16 bit fix point Digital Signal Processor
some optimization can be done in MP3 audio decoding. With the optimize algorithm such as fix point algorithm instead of floating point algorithm
sub-curve fitting
looking for table
the number of decoding instructions decrease to 1/20 per frame.
