  2. Comparison of audio coding formats - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_audio_coding...

    The 'Music' category is merely a guideline on commercialized uses of a particular format, not a technical assessment of its capabilities. For example, MP3 and AAC dominate the personal audio market in terms of market share, though many other formats are comparably well suited to fill this role from a purely technical standpoint.

  3. Codec listening test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Codec_listening_test

    A codec listening test is a scientific study designed to compare two or more lossy audio codecs, usually with respect to perceived fidelity or compression efficiency. Most tests take the form of a double-blind comparison.

  4. Apple Lossless Audio Codec - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Lossless_Audio_Codec

    ALAC supports up to 8 channels of audio at 16, 20, 24 and 32 bit depth with a maximum sample rate of 384 kHz. ALAC data is frequently stored within an MP4 container with the filename extension.m4a. This extension is also used by Apple for lossy AAC audio data in an MP4 container (same container, different audio encoding).

  5. Advanced Audio Coding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Audio_Coding

    Advanced Audio Coding (AAC) is an audio coding standard for lossy digital audio compression. It was designed to be the successor of the MP3 format and generally achieves higher sound quality than MP3 at the same bit rate. [4] AAC has been standardized by ISO and IEC as part of the MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 specifications.

  6. Audio coding format - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audio_coding_format

    An audio coding format [1] (or sometimes audio compression format) is a content representation format for storage or transmission of digital audio (such as in digital television, digital radio and in audio and video files). Examples of audio coding formats include MP3, AAC, Vorbis, FLAC, and Opus.

  7. FLAC - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FLAC

    FLAC is specifically designed for efficient packing of audio data, unlike general-purpose lossless algorithms such as DEFLATE, which are used in ZIP and gzip. While ZIP may reduce the size of a CD-quality audio file by 10–20%, FLAC is able to reduce the size of audio data by 40–50% by taking advantage of the characteristics of audio.

  8. Audio file format - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audio_file_format

    Audio file icons of various formats. An audio file format is a file format for storing digital audio data on a computer system. The bit layout of the audio data (excluding metadata) is called the audio coding format and can be uncompressed, or compressed to reduce the file size, often using lossy compression.

  9. High-Efficiency Advanced Audio Coding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-Efficiency_Advanced...

    High-Efficiency Advanced Audio Coding (HE-AAC) is an audio coding format for lossy data compression of digital audio defined as an MPEG-4 Audio profile in ISO/IEC 14496–3. It is an extension of Low Complexity AAC (AAC-LC) optimized for low- bitrate applications such as streaming audio .
