MP3 = Mpeg 1 Audio Layer 3
and mpeg stands for "Motion Picture Experts Group"
The group of engineers who came up with the standards for the file type.

Sorry, you're wrong about the Music Player ;-) Actually MP3 stands for MPEG 1 layer 3. MPEG stands for Motion Picture Experts Group.

The name of the file extension and also the name of the type of file for MPEG, audio layer 3. Layer 3 is one of three coding schemes (layer 1, layer 2 and layer 3) for the compression of audio signals. Layer 3 uses perceptual audio coding and psychoacoustic compression to remove all superfluous information (more specifically, the redundant and irrelevant parts of a sound signal. The stuff the human ear doesn't hear anyway). It also adds a MDCT (Modified Discrete Cosine Transform) that implements a filter bank, increasing the frequency resolution 18 times higher than that of layer 2.
