Encoding, or “ripping”
Encoding, sometimes referred to as “ripping and encoding”, refers to extracting audio from a music CD
(ripping), and converting it (encoding) into a compressed digital audio format like MP3 or WMA.
ID3 Tag
The ID3 tag is the part of the encoded MP3 file that contains information about the digital music file such as
song title, artist, album title, encoding bitrate, track time duration, and so on.
MP3
MP3 is short for Moving Pictures Experts Group Audio Layer 3. MP3 is the most well known compressed
digital audio file format. This format allows for near “CD quality” sound, but at a fraction of the size of
normal audio files. MP3 conversion of an audio track from CD-ROM reduces the file size by approximately a
12:1 ratio with virtually no perceptible loss in quality. This digital sound encoding and compression process
was developed by the Fraunhofer Institut fur Integrierte Schaltungen and Thomson Multimedia. MP3
compression removes the redundant and irrelevant parts of a sound signal that the human ear doesn't
hear. The MP3 encoding process is well suited for the transfer of high quality audio files with small file size
over the Internet.
Red Book
The specification for audio (CD-DA) compact discs.
Treble
Treble is the high notes of the sound spectrum. Increasing the treble value will raise the levels of the high
sounds in your music files.
VBR
Variable Bitrate (VBR) encoding converts tracks at a variable rate, using higher bitrate encoding for
complex portions and lower bitrate encoding for pauses in songs.
WMA
Windows Media Audio (WMA) is the compressed audio format created by Microsoft as an alternative to MP3.
WMA offers greater file compression than MP3, enabling you to store more music on your PC or writable
CDs.
