Linear PCM (LPCM) recording is a digital recording method that samples analog audio signals at a certain frequency and saves them as digital signals without compression. Music CDs (CD-DA - CD digital Audio) use PCM recording (sampling rate of 44.1kHz, bit depth of 16-bit samples, bit rate of 1,411kbps, and frequency response from 20 to 20kHz). PCM recordings are digitally-recorded unprocessed audio, and are supposed to be of the highest sound quality. "WAVE" format is used to import these PCM recording files into a computer. The WAVE file extension is ".WAV". MP3 and WMA format files are created by compressing the LPCM data. POCKETRAK CX Reference Manual 7
