Audio Compression Techniques

Audio compression techniques reduce the size of audio files by removing or simplifying data that is less perceptible to human hearing. Lossless compression preserves all original audio details, allowing perfect reconstruction, while lossy compression eliminates some information, making files smaller with minimal impact on listening quality. Methods like MP3 or AAC analyze audio to identify and discard inaudible sounds or redundancies, balancing sound quality with smaller file sizes. These techniques enable efficient storage, faster streaming, and easier sharing of audio content without significantly compromising listening experience.
