When performing lossy audio encoding, such as creating an MP3 file, there is a trade-off between the amount of space used and the sound quality of the result. Typically, the creator is allowed to set a bit rate, which specifies how many kilobits the file may use per second of audio. The higher the bit rate, the larger the compressed file will be, and, generally, the closer it will sound to the original file. COUNT 5
QSN1 A typical trade off when creating an MP3 file is between the amount of space used and what other factor? ANS1 sound quality of the result QSN2 What would an example of lossy audio encoding be? ANS2 creating an MP3 file QSN3 Who gets to set the bit rate for an MP3 file? ANS3 the creator QSN4 What does the bit rate of the file actually mean? ANS4 how many kilobits the file may use per second of audio QSN5 If the bit rate is higher, the size of the compressed file will be what? ANS5 larger
