Beschreibungen/Notizen

• There are two basic ways to transmit music on the Internet: streaming files and downloading files. A streaming file plays as soon as one click on its title. A downloaded file does not play until one copy the entire file to his hard disk. Streaming audio can be interrupted by net congestion or a slow internet connection; a downloaded file plays without interruption. Audio files that you record on your computer are usually WAV or AIFF files. They have no data reduction, so they take up lots of memory. Audio WAV files intended for Web download are usually data-reduced or data-compressed by encoding them as MP3, WMA, or other formats. WAVE (.WAV) is a standard PC format for audio files. It encodes sound without any data reduction by using pulse code modulation. Most types of data compression tend to degrade sound quality. The sound quality of a compressed-data format depends on its bit rate, measured in kilobits per second (kbps).
