Does this viewer show ID3 tags or album art?

It focuses on playing the audio. Some metadata embedded in the file may be read, but the main goal is reliable browser playback.

Are my MP3 files uploaded?

No. Files opened from your device stay on your device and are decoded locally. Only the public sample tracks are requested from the server.

What is the difference between .mp3 and .mpeg?

MP3 is officially known as MPEG-1/2 Audio Layer III. The .mpeg extension is sometimes used for the same audio stream, so this viewer accepts both .mp3 and .mpeg.

About this file format

MP3 (.mp3, .mpeg) is an audio coding format defined in the MPEG-1 (1993) and MPEG-2 (1995) standards. It uses lossy compression to shrink audio to roughly a tenth of its raw size with near-CD quality, which is why it became the default format for digital music and podcasts. Almost every device and browser on earth can decode MP3 natively.
