Audio coding

Audio coding is the process of converting sound into a digital format so that it can be efficiently stored and transmitted. This involves compressing the audio data to reduce file size while maintaining quality. Different coding methods, like MP3 or AAC, use various techniques to eliminate unnecessary sound information, making the files smaller without losing much detail. This way, you can enjoy music and sounds on devices like phones and computers while saving storage space and bandwidth. Audio coding plays a crucial role in streaming services and digital music libraries.
