GLOSSARY Glossary ■ MP3 (MPEG-1 Audio Layer-3) One of the audio compression methods used by MPEG. It employs the irreversible compression method, which achieves a high compression rate by thinning out the data of hardly audible part to human ears. It is said to be capable of compressing the data quantity by about 1/11 (128 kbps) while maintaining a similar audio quality to music CD. ■ WMA (Windows Media Audio) An audio compression method developed by Microsoft Corporation. It employs the irreversible compression method, which achieves a high compression rate by thinning out the data of hardly audible part to human ears. It is said to be capable of compressing the data quantity by about 1/22 (64 kbps) while maintaining a similar audio quality to music CD. ■ Sampling frequency The number of sampling (process for digitalizing analog signals) per second. In principle, the higher the sampling rate, the wider the frequency range that can be played back, and the higher the quantized bit rate, the finer the sound that can be reproduced. ■ PCM (Pulse Code Modulation) A signal that is changed to digital format without compression. A CD is recorded with 16-bit sound at 44.1 kHz. ■ Track A CD can be divided into a number of segments (tracks). Each division is called a track number.
