AVI vs MP3

File Size – Compared to AVI files, MP3 files are usually smaller in size because they contain only audio data. This makes them easier to share or store, especially when we are working with large audio files.

Compression – Both formats use different compression techniques. MP3 uses lossy compression to remove some audio data that is not readily apparent to the human ear. AVI uses various video codecs and audio codecs to compress video and audio data.

Compatibility – MP3 is a widely used audio format, which is supported by most of the audio players, devices and software. AVI, on the other hand, may require specific software or hardware to play or edit, and it may not be compatible with all devices.
