To provide an apparatus and a method for enabling sound data having a three-dimensional stereo sound effect to be reproduced in a mobile communication terminal.
A three-dimensional stereo sound reproducing apparatus comprises: a memory for storing sound data having a three-dimensional stereo sound effect in an MP3 or AAC format; a sound processing unit for reading the sound data from the memory when an incoming call is generated or when a user requests the reproduction of the sound data and for decoding the sound data using an MP3 or AAC decoding scheme, thereby outputting the sound data as a type of an analog signal; and a speaker for amplifying the analog signal and outputting the amplified analog signal as a type of an audible sound. Therefore, it is possible to obtain an excellent three-dimensional stereo sound effect and excellent performance in reproducing a stereo sound, thereby remarkably saving a capacity, manufacturing costs, download costs and the like required for a data storage memory.
