Technically not music, but it does have Mp3 in the title. I thought I’d share a powerful demonstration of what happens when audio plugged in to a crowd:

I missed our 7th month anniversary together because I was in Hong Kong, so here’s a song for the girlfriend. Originally done by Lionel Ritchie (I think), but I’ve opted to go with a more modern rendition by Jason Mraz (actually, more acurately it’s by Toca, but Jason’s in it as well):
