MPEG Audio is a special tool for reducing the size of audio files. Using the principle of perceptual coding, based on “psychoacoustic masking”, MPEG can substantially reduce the amount of digital information stored without compromising sound quality. MPEG codecs achieve this by suppressing information which is irrelevant from the perceptual point of view, i.e. information which is filtered by our brain in the course of analysing the perceived sound. At moderate compression rates (such as 128 kbits/s and above for MPEG Layer 3 Audio files) you won’t hear a difference from the uncompressed original! DART CD-Recorder Basic allows you to decode (decompress) audio files using the most advanced (and the most efficient) Layer 3 MPEG Audio scheme.
