My favorite form of listening to music is MP3. MP3 is for computers and it is available for example on the internet. It was zoriginaly made for PCs and as far as I know it does not need as much place on the driver as others (like zaudiotracks). It only can be played in MP3 players, which can be on your computer, or in a hi-fi. Nowadays you can buy a portable MP3 player as well.

The best feature of it is maybe that it is cheaper than other forms of music (I mean CDs, cassettes). While you nearly pay 3000-5000 Fts for a CD an album in MP3 only costs for 1000-2000 Ft. Another way to get MP3 is zuseing file changing programs like BCDC or DC++. This way is much more affordable. In this case you only need internet and the program, you do not have to pay for downloading music.

The only bad feature of it is that you can zaccidentaly download some virus with the MP3, but if you have a virus detector on your PC it will not be a problem. In my opinion it happens only in a few cases, because MP3s on the paying webpages are not infected, and MP3's on the file changing programs are always have to be detected before you share it with the others.

Last year we organised a party. We had some problems with the music. Some of us wanted to use CDs, and some of us zprefered MP3s. The first group did not know MP3 at that time, so we told them the good features of it. We told them that we would have a bigger choice of music if we use MP3s. Finally we choose MP3. We brought a computer to the "party place" and the ones who wanted to listen CDs before were really zsuprised on the great quality and choice of the MP3s.
