  2. Audio converter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audio_converter

    An audio converter is a software or hardware tool that converts audio files from one format to another. This process is often necessary when users encounter compatibility issues with different devices, applications, or platforms that support specific audio file formats.

  3. Audio file format - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audio_file_format

    Audio file icons of various formats. An audio file format is a file format for storing digital audio data on a computer system. The bit layout of the audio data (excluding metadata) is called the audio coding format and can be uncompressed, or compressed to reduce the file size, often using lossy compression.

  4. Transcoding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transcoding

    As with audio, transcoding from lossy format to another format of any type will result in a loss of quality. For video editing , (for video converting), images are normally compressed directly during the recording process due to the huge file sizes that would be created if they were not, and because the huge storage demands being too cumbersome ...

  5. Timeline of audio formats - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_audio_formats

    An audio format is a medium for sound recording and reproduction. The term is applied to both the physical recording media and the recording formats of the audio content —in computer science it is often limited to the audio file format , but its wider use usually refers to the physical method used to store the data.

  6. MP3 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MP3

    A third generation of "MP3" style data streams (files) extended the MPEG-2 ideas and implementation but was named MPEG-2.5 audio since MPEG-3 already had a different meaning. This extension was developed at Fraunhofer IIS, the registered patent holder of MP3, by reducing the frame sync field in the MP3 header from 12 to 11 bits.

    Advanced Audio Coding is a standardized, lossy compression and encoding scheme for digital audio. Designed to be the successor of the MP3 format, AAC generally achieves better sound quality than MP3 at similar bit rates. AC-3 Audio Coding 3 is a 6-channel, audio file format by Dolby Laboratories that usually accompanies DVD viewing.

  8. A Drop of Nelson's Blood - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Drop_of_Nelson's_Blood

    Following his victory and death at the Battle of Trafalgar, Nelson's body was preserved in a cask of brandy or rum for transport back to England. Though when news of Nelson's death and return to British soil reached the general public, people either 1. argued rum would've been the better alternative or 2. wrongly assumed the body was preserved in rum to begin with.

  9. Audio coding format - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audio_coding_format

    Audio content encoded in a particular audio coding format is normally encapsulated within a container format. As such, the user normally doesn't have a raw AAC file, but instead has a .m4a audio file, which is a MPEG-4 Part 14 container containing AAC-encoded audio. The container also contains metadata such as title and other tags, and perhaps ...
