Almost 50 times as many shows can be stored on an MP3 disk than a standard audio CD, but MP3 recordings must be played on your computer or special MP3 player device.

Why Collect Old Time Radio Shows in MP3 format?

While only two 30-minute old time radio episodes will fit on a single audio CD, MP3 files are a kind of sound compression format that allows you store 50+ hours of old time radio shows on just a single MP3 CD.

Storing old time radio shows in the MP3 format saves a lot of storage space and is a great way to collect and store old time radio shows for easy listening. With the introduction of MP3 technology, collections of old time radio shows that once filled rooms on reel-to-reel, VHS, cassette, and transcription disks can now be stored on a small stack of MP3 cds.

MP3 is an acronym which stands for Mpeg 1 Audio Layer 3. Because the lower fidelity of the original vintage recordings, there is little loss of sound quality due to MP3 compression.
