Audio data compression

In information theory, data compression, source coding, or bit-rate reduction is the process of encoding information using fewer bits than the original...

Lossless compression is a class of data compression that allows the original data to be perfectly reconstructed from the compressed data with no loss...

technology, lossy compression, or irreversible compression, is the class of data compression methods that uses inexact approximations and partial data discarding...

MPEG-1 Audio or MPEG-2 Audio encoded data. Concerning audio compression, which is its most apparent element to end-users, MP3 uses lossy compression to reduce...

is called the audio coding format and can be uncompressed, or compressed to reduce the file size, often using lossy compression. The data can be a raw...

Data compression ratio, also known as compression power, is a measurement of the relative reduction in size of data representation produced by a data...

Dynamic range compression (DRC) or simply compression is an audio signal processing operation that reduces the volume of loud sounds or amplifies quiet...

Monkey's Audio is an algorithm and file format for lossless audio data compression. Lossless data compression does not discard data during the process...

In data compression and psychoacoustics, transparency is the result of lossy data compression advanced enough that the compressed result is perceptually...
