Subject: RE: Tech: How audio has improved
Any process that digitizes sound uses compression - various formats to varying degrees - which means you're not getting the full spectrum of the original audio information. In effect, part of the sound is cut away to create manageable file size.

The only thing that has "improved" is convenience.
