so there should be an audio compression algorithm that can reduce 5min tracks to 5k files (and still sound equivalent to uncompressed tracks)? that seems a little optimistic to me.
- bermanoid 14y agoNo. If we accept the article's claims at face value (which is another question) all we can say is that there should be a different audio compression algorithm for each person that could reduce 5 min tracks to 5k files. But the algorithm tailored to your auditory processing system would not work for me, because I might be more or less sensitive to certain types of changes than you.
- mdda 14y agoWay more information than is actually remembered : What must you remember of the song to be able sing it in the shower after one hearing? Maybe add the air guitar and other instrumentals after a few more hearings... Quick : Think of that internet song with the Korean guy doing the horsey dancing. Heard it a few times? What's the third verse like? We're not talking anything like lossless compression : Kind of the opposite.
