Lossless data compression of digital audio signals is useful when it is necessary to minimize the storage space or transmission bandwidth of audio data while still maintaining archival quality.

Lossy compression schemes can be based on a source model, as in the case of speech compression, or a user or sink model, as is somewhat the case in image compression. In this chapter we look at audio ...

Data Compression is one of the most important components of this world, driven by petabytes of data daily. We, as humans, are generating data every second. From walking to running, eating to drinking, ...

Encoding digital audio data to take up less storage space and transmission bandwidth. Audio compression typically uses lossy methods, which eliminate bits that are not restored at the other end. ADPCM ...

We’ve been hearing a lot about lossless audio lately. Apple Music says it has it. So does Amazon Music. Tidal and Qobuz have it too, but Spotify doesn’t. (Yet. Or still.) Is lossless audio a big deal?

If you stream music (and who doesn't these days) you've obviously come across abbreviations at the end of the audio files. The acronyms reading WAV, FLAC, MP3 and so on, are called audio codecs. You ...

Apple did its part in moving the world to wireless headphones. With the removal of the headphone jack with iPhone 7, the company made it clear that the future of audio is wireless. However, the ...

Last week, Meta announced an AI-powered audio compression method called "EnCodec" that can reportedly compress audio 10 times smaller than the MP3 format at 64kbps with no loss in quality. Meta says ...
