How is the sound quality of a music distribution subscription determined?
Sound quality depends on bit rate and type of audio codec.
I will explain the bit rate and the audio codec.
What is a bit rate?
It is a value (unit: bps) that expresses the amount of data per second after compressing music data.
For music files with the same compression format, files with higher bitrate values are said to have better sound quality.
What is an audio codec?
A function that compresses or decompresses music files.
There are two types of compression methods for music file codecs: lossy and lossless.
Lossy codec
Data compression in which the data before compression and the data after decompression do not match.
The advantage is that the size of the music file can be reduced, but the disadvantage is that the sound quality deteriorates.
The types of lossy codecs are listed below as an example.
■ Lossy codec types
・ MP3
・ AAC
・ WMA
・ Vorbis
Lossless codec
Data compression in which the data before compression and the data after decompression are the same.
The compression ratio of the music file size is small, but the advantage is that there is no deterioration in sound quality compared to before compression.
Lossless codec types are listed below as an example.
■ Lossless codec types
· A THE C
・ FLAC
・ TAK
・ Lossless WMA
・ Monkey’s Audio
