That's not "compression" in the digital data sense. And it is _not_
similar to MD in any way at all. Since CDs are sampled at 44.1kHz, there
is no possible way that you'll get a frequency higher than 22.5kHz.
They're not "compressed" to remove this; it's simply a physical
impossibility to record a higher sampling rate than that.
