| That's not "compression" in the digital data sense. And it is _not_
| similar to MD in any way at all.
Bit-rate reduction is one of many forms of compression.

22.05kHz. The phenomenon is called 'aliasing'.
| They're not "compressed" to remove this; it's simply a physical
| impossibility to record a higher sampling rate than that.
Errors aside, how does this contradict anything I wrote? Data loss,
bit-rate reduction, lossy compression, whatever you want to call it, it
ammounts to the same thing. And why are we still discussing this on the
Newton mailing list?
