Description | 🔵 A proprietary format with lossy compression, which have been created as an alternative for MP3 with a higher quality of coding. Overtones out of human perception are being removed. AAC is two times less than MP3, which means 1/10 of CD digital data. The format has been widely used since 1997 as the seventh release of the MPEG-2 family. As hardware players supply it, the format is highly demanded by music fans. It has been widely spread in Apple production and is being used by default in iTunes. |
Technical details | 🔵 The format conception is similar to MP3, but it is more advanced. Being able to execute larger compression, it is represented as a separate segment of MPEG-4 standard used to create compact audio files. AAC is highly efficient with variable and continuous bitrate, with a sampling frequency of 8-96 kHz. The current version complies with the standard of ISO/IEC 14496-3. Compression is performed based on an auditory masking effect that provides data reduction with no deterioration for sound quality. |

Description | 🔵 .mp (MPEG Layer Audio) The .mp format is an audio coding format for digital audio which uses a form of lossy data compression. It is a common audio format for consumer audio streaming or storage, as well as a standard de facto codec for the transfer and playback of music on most digital audio players. MP files compress audio data by eliminating sounds that are outside the hearing range of most people, thus reducing the file size without significantly affecting the perceived sound quality. |
Technical details | 🔵 The `.mp3` format, MPEG-1 Audio Layer III, is a popular digital audio format. Here are the key technical details: - Lossy Compression: Reduces file size by removing less audible sounds. - Compression Ratio: Typically around 10:1, balancing quality and size. - Bitrate: Encoded at different rates, affecting quality and size. - Sampling Rates: Supports various rates, including CD quality. - Channel Modes: Offers mono, stereo, joint stereo, and dual channel. - Metadata: Stores info like title, artist, and genre (ID3 tags). - Streaming: Suitable for internet audio streaming. - Universal Playback: Compatible with most devices and software. - Variable Bitrate (VBR): Dynamically adjusts bitrate for efficiency. - Frequency Range: Covers 20 Hz to 20 kHz (human hearing range). - File Size: Much smaller than uncompressed audio. - Psychoacoustic Model: Removes less audible frequencies. - Developed by Fraunhofer Society in the 1990s. MP3 revolutionized the music industry for its efficient compression and wide compatibility, enabling digital audio storage and sharing. |
