The acronym MP3 stands for MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3. This file type is used to compress audio files. Unfortunately, this compression introduces loss to the file. MP4, on the other hand, is short for MPEG-4 Part 14. MP4 does not code the information in the file but is a container format. Therefore, it stores audio and video data.

An MP3 file is actually called an MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 Audio Layer III which is the common format nowadays for digital audio files. MP4 file means MPEG-4 Part 14 is a digital multimedia format that can store both audio and video. MP3 uses a lossy compression while MP4 uses a Advanced Audio Coding (AAC).

Those are two different video formats.

MP4 uses AAC for audio while 3GP uses AMR (adaptive multi rate).
