http://www.misticriver.net/boards/sh...9&page=1&pp=20 This is the link to the old Audio Formats 101 page. I will consider that one deprecated and this one is designed to supercede it. The whole reason I made this was I've noticed that not a lot of places anywhere have a really good simple enough explanation of these common codecs. Because of this I've decided to compile all of my knowledge of these things into one place and hopefully someone will benefit from it.
This concludes Audio Formats 101 barring some great advancement like Vorbis 2 or Musepack SV8.
