What specific section or headline is this issue about?

No response

What information was incorrect, unhelpful, or incomplete?

In the section Contents of a media file in first paragraph is said:

Formats like MP3, MP4 and WebM are called container formats.

MP3 itself isn't a container format, it is an audio format with a single track. MP3 cannot contain multiple audio tracks like MP4 of WebM does.
Below in the end of section is mentioned that MP3 might be a part of MPEG container, which is true, but the fact that MP3 is a container format is not correct.

What did you expect to see?

Remove mention about MP3 in this text or replace with proper container format like OGG or anything else.

Do you have any supporting links, references, or citations?
