Media
players
and
advanced
systems
integrate
our
music
libraries
into
playlists
at
home
and
on
our
mobile
devices,
and
makes
it
possible
for
us
to
enjoy
music
on
demand
in
the
format
it
was
recorded.
For
that
reason
we
have
skipped
the
MP3
format
and
offer
Songs
of
Perfect
Propriety
as
CD
quality
(16

and
High

downloads.
Our
aim
is
to
encourage
listeners
to
trust
their
ears,
to
explore
listening
to
music
with
has
much
detail
as
possible,
and
to
discover
audio
as
it
is
intended
by
the
artists and audio engineers to be received.
Below
you
can
read
about
audio
file
formats
and
learn
about
how
they
differ
from
each
other
technically.
In
terms
of
determining
the
difference
in
quality
between
fomats,
only
your
own
ears
can
make
that
evaluation
and which one is best for you.
MP3
is
a
standard
format
for
compressing
sound
into
a
very
small
file
(about
one-twelfth
the
size
of
the
original
file)
perfect
for
storage
when
disk
space
is
limited.
MP3
is
the
file
format
most
commonly
used
by
digital
music
stores
and
the
format
plays
on
all
media
devices
and
computers.
MP3
has
bit
rates
ranging
from
128
(low),
192
or
320
(high)
kbit/s
and
a
sample
rate
of
44
or
48
kHz.
Since
disk
space
is
steadily
increasing
for
digital
devices,
high
resolution
audio
is
more
in
demand
and
as
a
result
MP3
is
used
less
for
listening
enjoyment
and
more
for
practical
uses
such
as
previewing
tracks
or
for
reference.
AIFF
is
an
uncompressed
digital
audio
format
with
bit
rates
and
sample
rates
ranging
from
16
bits
44
kHz
(CD
quality)
and
24
bits
96
kHz
(high-
definition).
Windows:

FLAC
is
a
lossless
digital
audio
format.
This
means
that
the
format
does
not
lose
data
like
other
types
of
compressed
audio
files
(ex.
MP3).
Lossless
compression
still
retains
the
resolution
of
a
standard
CD
(16
44
kHz)
and
high-definition
audio
(24
96
kHz).
The
advantage
FLAC
is
that
it
takes
up
less
disc
space
on
your
computer
than
an
AIFF
and
will
play
gapless
audio,
an
advantage
for
albums
and
playlists
which
feature segues between tracks.
Smartphones

We
recommend
the
VLC
player
since
it
plays
all
formats
(except
.wav
files)
and
can
be
downloaded
to
a
wide
range
of
devices.
This
ability
to
play
just
about
anything
is
one
of
the
trademarks
of
VLC
software.
The
performance
on
Winows
and
Mac
computers
is
long
standing
and
reliable,
but
the
app
for
Android
remains
under
active
development
so
there
is
still
a
chance
of
running
into
unexpected
bugs.
You
may
want
to
try
it
anyway
and
test
it
for
yourself
to compare it to other media player options.
