Alternatives to Digital Audio
Although MP3 is the most popular format for encoding music, it is by no means the only one. There are two basic methods for compressing audio lossless and lossy, and for each of these methods there are many formats.
Lossless compression means that none of the audio data is removed during compression. Lossy compression means that audio data is permanently removed from the audio file. Lossy compression results in smaller files, but there is no way to rebuild the audio data to its original format. MP3 is an example of lossy compression.
