The quick answer is that it takes less space than the raw wav file it was made to replace.
Studies show that humans can perceive only a small percentage of the total data contained in a WAV file. As studies continued, they determined they could reduce the file size, without reducing the apparent quality of the sound. This is accomplished through compression. The compression reduces the amount of space needed to store the file. So an original WAV file may take 40MB of space, but the compressed MP3 will need only 4MB. (Of course, every song is different, so these numbers are just examples.)
This means more songs can fit in the memory of an MP3 player.
There is a lot of discussion among purists about the quality of the sound. Some people can hear a difference, some can not.

How is the direction of data flow different for data transfers for MP3 players and digital cameras?
MP3 files are downloaded from the PC to the MP3 player, in contrast to a digital camera, which transfers or uploads data to the PC.

Who invented the mp3's?
MP3 stand for MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3, in which MPEG in turn stands for Motion Pictures Experts Group. The MP3 format we use today was refined by a woman called Karlheinz Brandenburg. However the MP3 was first released to public in the form of a software MP3 encoder called L3enc by the Fraunhoer Society on the 7th of July 1994. Basically MP3 is a combination of compression technologies designed to lower the file sizes of audio data (e.g. music), by primarily removing the data for sounds that most humans can't hear (e.g. high pitched sounds). There has been many people who worked on different parts of the MP3 format, (spanning decades), that it is really hard to say who, in terms of one person, invented mp3.
When were MP3s invented?
it was made in the late 1990's and was pretty dull all there was , was radio and music
