Compressed Audio
When digital audio is compressed using some form of lossy, perceptual process such as MPEG2-
Layer3 (MP3 audio), Windows Media encoding (WMA), ATRAC encoding (used in MiniDisc), AAC
(MPEG-4 audio), or others - it can have a signifi cant reduction in its data rate. Compressed audio has
enabled the practical distribution of audio over low speed data networks.
