music (and video) files are allready in a compressed format - when you attempt to compress (or even encrypt) them the music decoder will no longer be able to recognize them and either will give an error message telling you as such or will corrupt the file(s).

The next time you want to compress your hdd to save (just a tiny amount of) disc space, EXCLUDE ALL OF YOUR MEDIA FILES!!!

PCM is lossless and uncompressed thus taking more space, MPG is compressed thus having declined audio quality but takes less space.


A sound format that takes up less space on a hard drive or other media than does raw digitized sound?

A variety of digital audio formats require less memory than "raw digitized sound," which is generally stored in .aif or .wav format. Compressed audio comes in two basic varieties: lossless and lossy. Lossless compressed audio formats are ones which store the data in such a way that the audio quality is not deminished. A lossless audio file will require more memory than a comparable lossy compressed file but less than a raw one. Popular examples include: flac, apple lossless Lossy compressed audio formats do deminish audio quality but reduce file greatly. Popular examples include: mp3, aac


Why liquids cannot be compressed?

We can't say that liquids cannot be compressed we can compress them but very little . To know why we have to understand the concept of intermolecular attraction and interparticle space . ¤Intermolecular Attraction - It is attraction force between molecules of different elements that bound the molecules together . *Interparticle Space - It is the space between the atoms , molecules and particles of different elements . The lipuids cannot be compressed much because io liquid intermolecular attration is quite high due to which interparticle space is less due to which it can't be compressed much .


Can gas particules cannot be compressed into smaller spaces?

Gas particles can be compressed into smaller spaces because they have a lot of empty space between them. When gas particles are compressed, their volume decreases due to the reduction in this empty space, resulting in an increase in pressure.


What are the reasons why users would want to use compressed files if they have a modem and access to the internet?

Compressed files can save considerable amounts of hard drive space.


Why can gases be compressed more than liquids and liquids more than solids?

Gases have the space between their molecules, and so can be compressed the most. Next is liquid which has more space between the molecules than a solid, but not as much space as in a gas. So, it an be compressed also, but not as much as can a gas. And finally, a solid does not have much space between molecules and thus cannot be compressed too much.


How do you create free space on my d drive?

Is MP3 a better audio format than WAV?

MP3 is a more compressed audio format than WAV, which means it takes up less storage space but may sacrifice some audio quality. WAV files are uncompressed and maintain higher audio quality, but take up more storage space. The choice between MP3 and WAV depends on your priorities for file size and audio quality.


Why can gasses be compressed but liquids cannot be?

Liquids CAN be compressed ... but not as much as gasses, nor as easily. The reason is that there is no "free space" between the molecules of a liquid (nor of a solid), but there is between the molecules of a gas.
