I need more help with the Player software. Several encoding formats have been developed to store music in such a way that it can be downloaded quickly over the Internet.
Encoding is a process that prepares music for downloading.
The encoding process often includes compressing, encrypting and watermarking a sound file. Compression makes the audio file smaller, encryption prevents the file from being copied or played without permission, and watermarking identifies the origin of the download. Music can be encoded in a variety of formats, such as MP3, a2b, MPEG, Liquid Audio and RealAudio. Yes, as long as the song's copyright holder has granted permission to download and play the song. Some formats are smaller than others, and the faster your connection, the faster the download.
