MP3 Format Hub
MP3 (.mp3) is a ubiquitous lossy audio encoding format that balances file size and sound quality. Supported by nearly every media player, it uses bit-rate scaling and psychoacoustic compression. Use sample .mp3 files to test streaming playback, metadata (ID3) extraction, buffer handling, and cross-device compatibility.

Implementation Notes
Use the manifest endpoint for deterministic fixture selection in CI, then validate MIME/type detection against actual parser output.
If this format appears in multiple categories, prefer category-specific hub pages to keep test assumptions aligned with real usage.
