Description

This short report is primarily aimed at people who use the power of digital audio encoding to store and play their music. It explores different audio formats, looking specifically at the difference between lossy and lossless codecs. It finds that creating a music library out of lossy codecs isn\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ \\\\\\\\'t a particularly wise thing to do, due to the vulnerability of each format over time. Once obsolete, an lossy audio codec will leave the user with an imperfect music source. Instead, it recommends a different system, utilising the lossless codec system to generate a music library, and looks at a specific case where this is possible.
