- I know this has probably been discussed before, but in light of
- the new MD threads I was hoping someone could explain how
- music compression algorithmswork (in regards to MD and DCC)?
- In particular, what's lost in the compression, do they cut
- out certain frequencies or just pieces of music.
-
- Also, what does "5-lossy" mean.

- thanks-Jim
