Abstract

MP3, or MPEG-1 Layer 3, is the most widely-used format for storing compressed audio. MP3 is more advantageous than uncompressed audio (PCM), offering a much smaller size but without a noticeable loss in audio quality. This report will demonstrate decoding and playback of MP3 audio using a TLL5000 FPGA board.
