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.
A lossless audio coding format reduces the total data needed to represent a sound but can be de-coded to its original, uncompressed form. A lossy audio coding format additionally reduces the bit resolution of the sound on top of compression, which results in far less data at the cost of irretrievably lost information.
Lossless audio encoding is also supported, for samples that do not compress well with lossy encoding. The format's name is a portmanteau of MOD and MP3 . [ 2 ] Despite the name, five other tracker formats are supported besides MOD: Scream Tracker 3 ( S3M ), FastTracker 2 ( XM ), Impulse Tracker ( IT ), OpenMPT ( MPTM ) and MultiTracker (MTM).
A Minecraft mod is a mod that changes aspects of the sandbox game Minecraft. Minecraft mods can add additional content to the game, make tweaks to specific features, and optimize performance. Thousands of mods for the game have been created, with some mods even generating an income for their authors.
Vorbis has different uses for consumer products. Many video games store in-game audio as Vorbis, including Amnesia: The Dark Descent, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Halo: Combat Evolved, Minecraft, and World of Warcraft, among others. [32] Popular software players support Vorbis playback either natively or through an external plugin.
MOD is a computer file format used primarily to represent music, and was the first module file format. MOD files use the “.MOD” file extension , except on the Amiga which doesn't rely on filename extensions; instead, it reads a file's header to determine filetype.
Audio compression may refer to: Audio compression (data) , a type of lossy or lossless compression in which the amount of data in a recorded waveform is reduced to differing extents for transmission respectively with or without some loss of quality, used in CD and MP3 encoding, Internet radio, and the like
Module file (MOD music, tracker music) is a family of music file formats originating from the MOD file format on Amiga systems used in the late 1980s. Those who produce these files (using the software called music trackers ) and listen to them form the worldwide MOD scene, [ 1 ] a part of the demoscene subculture.
