Lossy audio compression<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"MP3:<\/p>\n

I’ll start with the well-known and widely used (though not always loved) MP3 format.<\/p>\n

\"Lossy<\/p>\n

This audio format is actively used everywhere and everywhere, where it is needed and where it is not needed. But this does not mean that it is not worthy of the place it occupies in its niche. Very worthy. Although he has been “sitting” in his niche for about two decades, no one has “kicked” him out of there yet. And there were many who wanted to say it. And the main favorite of them is WMA (Windows Media Audio), which was conceived by Microsoft as an alternative to MP3. As a result, it is an alternative and it is, despite the best efforts of the developers. The next character is OGG. Despite the broader possibilities than MP3, for example, it never received widespread acceptance. Although it is compatible with many operating systems. Perhaps, it is worth mentioning the AAC audio format, which was supposed to replace MP3 in the relay. Encoding quality has been improved and compression loss reduced. But Ay.<\/p>\n

The main advantage of these formats is their small size. The downside is the loss of quality.<\/p>\n

Different formats
\nIn today’s world, you can find a large number of different sound extensions. Let’s remember at a glance:<\/p>\n

MP3 (Well where without it?)
\nWMA
\nOGG
\nCAA
\nAnd many others
\nOf course, each of these formats is good, especially MP3, which is probably the most popular format. But today we are not talking about popularity. MP3 and other similar formats, no matter how good they sound, are compressed originals. And even if you set the maximum quality to 320 btrate, it still won’t be of the highest quality. It was compressed, reduced, so there will be certain losses.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
