MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3 most commonly known as MP3 will now bear a new logo.

Seven of Britain's largest music download sites have got together to promote a new "MP3 compatible" logo.

It aims to raise the profile of the open MP3 music format and show people what they can do with their downloads.

The trade body behind the initiative said it should also help consumers identify legal sites.

The Entertainment Retailers Association devised the logo, which emphasises the fact that MP3 files can be played on any digital player.
