Audio Encoding
Audio encoding is the process of converting audio data into a specific format that can be easily stored, transmitted, and played back. This involves compressing the audio file to reduce its size while maintaining sound quality. Common audio formats include MP3, AAC, and WAV, each with its own advantages and use cases.
During audio encoding, various techniques are applied to remove unnecessary data, making the file smaller. This is particularly important for streaming services and digital music libraries, where efficient storage and quick access to audio files are essential for a good user experience.
