0~3 您好，我是主持人Black
4~5 今時今日
5~8 誰都能建立自己的MP3播放器
8~11 由於MP3檔案細小
11~14 所以MP3機比一副紙牌更細
14~17 卻可儲存多首歌曲
17~19 CD如何轉為MP3？
20~23 原理很簡單，以下為您介紹
24~27 MP3是聲音的檔案格式
27~31 正如 .doc 是文字的檔案格式
31~35 MP3把歌曲轉為電子格式
35~40 再進行電子壓縮，令檔案變小
40~44 MP3把難以聽到的聲音篩走
45~49 縮細檔案，讓MP3機儲存更多歌
50~52 MP3檔可在互聯網傳送
52~55 或下載至電腦和MP3機
55~59 運用軟件，把CD歌曲轉為MP3
59~1'2 與人分享歌曲也輕而易舉
1'2~3 請小心
1'4~8 Apple iPod有自己的歌曲格式
1'8~10 其他MP3機無法播放
1'11~14 我是主持人Black，多謝收看

0~3 I am Black Lawson from How Stuff Works. //
4~8 These days /
you can build your own unique players using MP3 files. //
8~11 Because the audio format is so small, /
11~14 music libray can ... //
14~17 All on one machine smaller than a deck of cards. //
17~19 How can we go from this (CD) to this (MP3 player) ? //
20~22 The answer is as easy as MP3. //
22~23 And here is how it works. //
24~26 MP3 is an audio file format, /
26~29 just like .doc is a text file format /
29~31 - except this one (MP3) is for audio. //
31~34 The MP3 format can take a song, /
34~35 change it into a digital format /
35~39 and then shrink it down, or digitally compress it /
39~40 - it's called digital compression. //
40~44 Basically, it takes out sounds that human ear can't hear very well. //
45~46 That makes the file small /
46~49 and lets you put more songs on your MP3 player. //
50~52 MP3 files can be transferred online /
52~55 and they can be downloaded into computer or MP3 player. //
55~56 With the right software /
56~59 you can convert CD songs into MP3 files. //
1'~1'2 That makes sharing songs of friends and family very easy. //
1'2~3 Just be careful. //
1'4~6 Some MP3 players like the Apple iPod /
1'6~8 have their own special format. //
1'8~10 So these songs only play on iPod. //
1'11~14 I'm Black Lawson and that's how MP3 files work. //
