Advanced Audio Codec

Advanced Audio Codec (AAC) is a technology used to compress digital audio files, reducing their size while maintaining high sound quality. It achieves this by removing parts of the audio that are less noticeable to human ears, making files smaller and easier to stream or store. AAC is commonly used in services like Apple Music, streaming platforms, and digital broadcasts, offering a balance between excellent sound fidelity and efficient data compression. It’s a successor to older formats like MP3, providing better quality at similar or smaller file sizes.
