I was thinking of remote newscast, where you might need to fit your data reliably over a cellular link, but now that I think about it, I don't think NPR does much remote newscast.
- joombaga 10y agoAre you conflating dynamic range compression with data compression?
- colejohnson66 10y agoWell, technically speaking, dynamic range compression /does/ make an MP3 smaller (IIRC)
- riprowan 10y agoSo yes, you are conflating these things.
- colejohnson66 10y ago> you But I'm not OP?
- riprowan 10y agoFair enough.
- joombaga 10y agoRight, but is it done for that purpose?
- colejohnson66 10y agoI don't know how MP3 works, but I was under the impression that a lower bitrate worked by compressing the dynamic range (or at least that was a side effect)
