New compression technique makes music files 1000 times smaller than MP3s
This isn’t exactly about compressing an already existing music file into a highly compressed audio file, but a different kind of method that involves recreation of music that results in a music file that’s 1000 times smaller than a comparable MP3 file.
Researchers from University of Rochester have come up with a way to recreate the music in the same way a piano player re-creates a piano piece from a roll of punched paper. This technique was demonstrated by encoding a 20 seconds clarinet solo in less than a Kilobyte.
