The MP in MP3 stands for Moving Picture, even you don't believe me. This is because of the group that created this format of compression and another worldwide known compression format: the MPEG (but this is a video format). The team that developed these two format was named Moving Picture Experts Group.

MP3 actually stands for MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3. It refers to the compression method used for the format.
