Abstract:
1. A content reproduction apparatus for inputting and reproducing audio data having a predetermined bit rate, the apparatus comprising: a bit rate detector configured to detect the bit rate of the input audio data; and an audio processor configured to compress a dynamic range of the input audio data or supplement the input audio data with frequency components in response to the detected bit rate of the input audio data, and reproduce the input audio data, wherein the audio processor decreases a degree of compression applied to the dynamic range of the input audio data while increasing a degree of supplementation of the frequency components as the detected bit rate of the input audio data increases, and. wherein the audio processor increases the degree of compression applied to the dynamic range of the input audio data while decreasing the degree of supplementation of the frequency components as the detected bit rate of the input audio data decreases.
