Lossless data compression of digital audio signals is useful when it is necessary to minimize the storage space or transmission bandwidth of audio data while still maintaining archival quality.

[In our Three-Minute Tech series, we tell you everything you really need to know about a technology in three minutes or less.] The day may come when increased storage capacities and unfettered ...

One student’s desire to get out of a final exam led to the ubiquitous algorithm that shrinks data without sacrificing information. With more than 9 billion gigabytes of information traveling the ...

Apple did its part in moving the world to wireless headphones. With the removal of the headphone jack with iPhone 7, the company made it clear that the future of audio is wireless. However, the ...

Nervous System: How Lossless Compression Makes Information Skinnier When is a byte not a byte? This month's history of cybersecurity examines the work of data scientists Jacob Ziv and Abraham Lempel, ...

We’ve been hearing a lot about lossless audio lately. Apple Music says it has it. So does Amazon Music. Tidal and Qobuz have it too, but Spotify doesn’t. (Yet. Or still.) Is lossless audio a big deal?

I see awful diminishing returns here. (Lossless) compression of today isn't really that much better than products from the 80s and early 90s - stacker (wasn't it?), pkzip, tar, gz. You get maybe a few ...

It used to be that memory and storage space were so precious and so limited of a resource that handling nontrivial amounts of text was a serious problem. Text compression was a highly practical ...

How lossless data compression can reduce memory and power requirements. How ZeroPoint’s compression technology differs from the competition. One can never have enough memory, and one way to get more ...

A good quality DAC (Digital to Analog Converter) is one of the crucial elements when it comes to deciding the kind of audio experience you can expect from a device. And at large, the same holds true ...

As mentioned previously, the characteristics of typical audio signals vary from time to time and therefore we must expect the required bit rate for lossless compression to vary as well. Since the bit ...
