What is VQF and Mp3?
Mp3 is a sound format that compresses the WAV that you have on an CD. As an example, a WAWfile from a CD takes 50MB. The same files in Mp3 will only take 5MB. That's why Mp3 files are used on the internet. They are ten times faster to download. Many Mp3 files are illegal, and that's why Mp3 sounds like something criminal to those who know what it is.
VQF is almost the same thing as Mp3, but it compresses even more and the sound quality is much better. If an Mp3 file uses 5MB, the VQF file will only use 3-4. Although VQF is much better than Mp3, Mp3s came first and that's why they are more popular.
