Everything you need to know about digital audio files
If you use iTunes or if you buy and download digital music, you'll have come across a number of terms and abbreviations that describe digital audio files. This alphabet soup can be quite confusing. What are codecs or audio file formats? What is a bit rate, and what's a sample rate? What does it mean when music is "high-resolution?" (Good article, but utilize your browser's "reader" function, this is a major predator site!)
