'''mp3PRO''' is an audio compression algorithm (or codec) that combines the [[MP3]] audio format with spectral band replication (SBR) compression methods. It claims to achieve transparency at lower bitrates than MP3, resulting in a file nearly half the size of standard MP3

mp3PRO files were compatible with existing MP3 decoders, with the SBR data simply being ignored. However, this causes a significant reduction in audio quality as only the lower half of the original frequency range is available
