cochra1 Posted February 12, 2007 Report Share Posted February 12, 2007 Forgive me if this has been answered elsewhere, but I'm quite new to this forum! I'm intrigued by the 'Advanced Lossless' concept. Quote: "...able to compress a CD anywhere from 30% to 80% of its original size without any loss of data".If it is indeed 'lossless', why are there various bitrate options? They can't all be lossless can they; otherwise why would anyone use any but the lowest possible bitrates. Is it just the top rate (352kbps) that is lossless?

eriktous Posted February 12, 2007 Report Share Posted February 12, 2007 Have a look at this page.Atrac Advanced LosslessBasically, an AAL file consists of two parts. A lossy part, compressed at the chosen bitrate, and a part containing the residual information, which is used in conjunction with the lossy part to reconstruct the original sound.
